1. Pas de deux

Glen Drive @ 8th Ave
The same friend who called for the removal of tossed shoes in his neighbourhood tipped me to these newly tossed shoes on a leafy street in East Van. I didn't ask him how he came across them. Is there a group of people tracking tossed shoes on wire in the city? He did once mention to me a Reddit discussion thread on the phenomenon in Vancouver. According to some, shoes are tossed to mark gang territory. I don't know if that's just an urban legend, but there's something very West Side Story about these ones. I hope they stay!
