There ain't nose drugs in my area.
It means gang territory.
probably because it is still a drug area.
When I was at SSU this was the worst steet to be on. Looks like little has changed. Shoes on the line is supposed to mean a death has occured at that location.
In all fairness, "shoefiti?" can have meanings from advertising being a smack/coke dealer, to paying tribute to a fallen homie, to (most likely) just some punk ass bully who stole his brother's/classmate's shoes and just lobbed them up on the wire to piss everybody off. Didn't this tradition also play out in military circles when boots were tossed as a celebration of right of passage and such? Those shoes seem like they are in the middle of the street, not marking a particular residence-my money is on just some punk ass kid taking someones shoes because "someone didn't love them enough when they was little." My thought when seeing this photo wasn't the shoes though-I used to live in the Bury and between the photo of the prostitute walking a rundown street and this photo it is making me feel a little better that I left before my kids were born. I wish you guys luck, but you have got to vote. Only you guys can break that cycle.
i thought they were a "to my dead homies" or something along those lines....
There's a pair on Pricilla St. Just past the RR tracks as well. I just noticed them about three weeks ago.
There would be fewer disturbances in that area if they had left the police sub stations opened. Way to go Jack n Coke.
we used to throw them over the powerlines after the summer. they always went up. the 4 month old summer workin all day ones. those were my dead homies.
They are put in the middle so that the police can't specify which house is the drug house. They're advertising to the new SU students...no question.
Quick...everyone. Call public works and tell them when you see shoes hanging!! This must stop!! Call the Mayor! In fact, she's probably doing it!!
The meanings of "boots on the wire" was suppose to mark a turf, now it is unclear. How ever the Mayor promised me on my porch during one of her cam"pains" that the substation would stay. Well mark up another time I was dumb enough to believe the bull. The street itself has quieted down a great deal but the dealers go inside and work out of their apartments. Don't fool yourself council members it still sucks and though it may be better disguised it is still bad. At least the hookers aren't performing outside Hamburg style shows.
Wow...I guess I just learned something....I had no clue there was a meaning to it...I just thought it was kids playin' around.
Thanks for the lesson!
Don't diss Hamburg or Amsterdam because they accept human reality and creatively adapt to it (i.e "not sweating the little shit")...BTW-check into Jan-March airfare to these destinations (Iceland Air in particular); you might be surprised how quickly and cheaply you can be delivered to a really cool place. These "working ladies" are provided great scrutiny (tested for STDs and such)to assure they are not endangering anyone; and given rights to conduct legitimate business within specified regions of the town (i.e the "red light" districts). I spent hours in an Amsterdam Red Light district pub playing pool and talking about American baseball with a uniformed Dutch policeman-he seemed rather indifferent regarding the large bowl of Afghani hash I was using to address my "glaucoma" while trying to sink the 8 ball. If you have formed your intense, black-or-white political philosophies, yet never left America (or the Eastern Shore for that matter)to see how "less uptight and hypocritical" folks live...well, let's just say you don't know what you are missing.
Those shoe have been up since JUNE!
And it SU not SSU or SSC
they'd legalize it if they could figure out how to tax it, same with prostitution
I saw a drug deal go down right in front of my house this morning. I had the guy's forehead in the crosshairs of my rifle scope. To bad we can't just shoot them.
I had the safety on, I just wanted to get a good look at his face ; )
To Reese Bobby
I did not mean to put down or in anyway demean the countries or practices of them. The phrase was given to me by a friend and I apologize for coming off like the people I distrust. I have never thought that prostitution was for low lifes, if it were legalized we would have a better knowledge of STDs and human interaction, this goes back to works by Jung and Frued and more recently though I can't remember the Dr who published the study. Once again I apologize for looking like a Puritan butthead
10:23. After all the bitter stuff you see here sometimes that didn't really ruffle my feathers.Just wanted to point out that there are some cool destinations out there that focus on murder and rape and theft, and let the moral choices exist without criminalization. I feel bad for you because American vice crime enforcement just spreads it out covertly/underground so the entire community suffers. I've seen Puritan buttheads respond here, and you aren't even close to their looniness. Good luck in your neighborhood.
LOL Reese Bobby-if you aint first,youre last!
Drug sales and use are on the rise in Salisbury, and believe it or not, Fruitland has serious gang activity.
The Salisbury Police Dept, like most PD's in the US, are far to overworked to ever make a dent in petty drug sales and use in this country.
