Sneakers Up – 60th and 3rd Avenue
Tony shared this picture taken on 60th Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
In my teens, a friend said that on her block in Bensonhurst, everyone threw their Converse sneakers up when they a teen on their block died. I thought that was an interesting idea.
In Sunset Park, when I was a kid, we threw the sneakers up on an afternoon when we were bored. It would take awhile to get a pair caught on the wires.
