Having spent much of my life in the streets of Los Angeles, One sight that is common are shoes on a wire...If you do a google search your will find different meanings. Some will say they mark gang turf, others will say they are marking the spot for; ''drugs sold here''...Well growing up and spending much of my teen years in East L.A. and in South Central L.A. I can tell you this...
Those shoes mean a recent violent death...Seeing two pairs fo shoes hanging on the wire up on Mustard hill in City Terrace, tells me two people, likely kids got killed up there recently and beware...The first time I encountered death was when I was about 12 years old as I recall. This friend ouf ours named Steven was killed by riding his bike down Pomeroy. He was hit by a hit and run driver and a pair of his shoes went up on a wire....
