"Shoefiti tracks the locations of shoes hanging from power lines - This map was started to try to hold the local power company in Minneapolis accountable for their inconsistent responses to shoe removal requests. The map illustrates that shoes are removed in affluent neighborhoods but ignored in more challenged neighborhoods. Shoe locations are gathered through an email tip-line."

Thanks for the link. Have you seen any cases of shoefiti in Venice?
Thanks for your great question, Ed! I have never seen "shoefitti" in Venice... (and I have to admit that my Venetian husband and in-laws are rather perplexed by the whole phenomenon!)
Ever see "Wag the Dog"? There's a funny use of shoefitti! Actually, there's a pretty interesting impromptu discussion of its possible whys and wherefores here!
