This abandoned stiletto sitting in the front yard of a Back Bay fraternity house must have a tale to tell. It's one of those things you see around the city that makes you wonder about the back-story.

Who left it there? Where is the other shoe? Was it a passerby? Was it part of an initiation?

It would be great inspiration for a writer or just someone who'd like to toss out an idea or two. What's your take on the story of this flowery shoe? Add your ideas in the comments below!

    Well, the shoe is pretty well worn, and appears to me, like time to put it out for trash. Condition too poor to be giving it to any charity. So. I think it was in a bag of ‘trash’, being carried to the cans, and somehow, this one shoe fell out. Did they notice? I think not, since it was just the one item..a shoe.

    I could agree were it anywhere but in front of a frat house. My imaginations takes me to a young woman in the process of misspending her youth. She put on her oh my skirt and barely shirt and donned those spikes with Prince Charming in her sights. Sadly for her, the Prince seldom can be found in a frat house. I only hope that the rest of her got home okay and that this one lonely shoe is all that was left abandoned on the streets of Boston.
