philljm said:John, I don't know if it is an urban legend, but I remember hearing years ago, that shoes thrown over electric/ phone lines is a sign for those looking to buy/ sell drugs. I don't know if it is true or not, or if as you said, it's just people being stupid.
Someday I will manage to go to Mecca.
Someday.
Until then I will need to live vicariously through those that do go. So keep posting your thoughts and photos please ~Jan
I hadn't heard that particular legend. I was dumbstruck at the sheer insanity of climb up a high-voltage transmission tower - and the perpetrator would have to have climbed the tower to place those tennis shoes.
We're lucky enough to be close to the Mecca. Both Petit and Cross Border gardens are in our county; and Salters are in the next county to the north.
I don't know whether the out of state visitors flew down for the occasion, or arranged vacations in the Orlando area near the time of the event. I think the folks from Arkansas drove.
Today, Nicole's is one county to the east, and four of the others are about 55 miles away.
All of which means that attending isn't a problem.
Meanwhile, running several hundred photos through photoshop is tedious and time-consuming, but pictures will be forthcoming.
