The inexplicable shoes-at-bus-stop phenomenon continues.

Next time, I’m hoping to come across something cute in a size seven.

More abandoned shoes, this time at 3rd & Yesler:

Apparently, someone was using this pair for storage.

My bus sightings seem to come in clusters. Back in the spring of 2008, it was animals. Next, musicians. Spring, 2010 is apparently all about footwear–minus the feet.

Mary Janes at 3rd & Cherry (via Bus Nerd)

Flip flops at 31st S & S Lane

Oxfords at 23rd & Aloha (Are those Stacey Adams?)

Back before I knew that leaving one’s shoes at the bus stop was a common occurrence (which could possibly explain another somewhat common Seattle phenomenon), I thought this was caption worthy. Now I don’t need a caption–just an explanation. What gives?
