Shoe Tree, High Heel Variant Gallup isn't your first left off New York Ave. It's the second. Tree is cool though. No artsy cars out front. [Shante, 08/07/2010]
Shoe Tree, High Heel Variant I figured I'd send along a photo I took of the shoe telephone pole mentioned in the tips. The artist who lives in the house at that corner also owns a couple of art cars that are usually parked outside, including one painted to match a Hawaiian shirt he has, and another, "The Cocktail Car," which is covered in wine bottle corks. [Kim Newell, 02/26/2005][RA: This is an artist's variation on the populist Shoe Tree. The high heel shoes appear to have been carefully nailed in place, not tossed by jilted prom-sters or would-be Hollywood starlets. If you look carefully in the photo, you can spot a lone pair of sneakers on the telephone wire. August 2005: The artist is Michael Veseart, and he notes that the "lone pair of sneakers" is really another pair of pumps.]
Shoe Tree Telephone pole adorned from top to bottom with ladies' shoes (pumps). Unbelievable. [Anne Kircher, 11/25/2004]
