How Street Art Is Changing a Miami Neighborhood

Stand at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 26th Street in Miami, and there are shoes as far as you can see.
Not real shoes. The low-slung industrial buildings that surround you are crudely painted with images of pumps and sneakers and wingtips, with signs touting "shoes direct from factory" and "cash and carry shoes." Some of the buildings are occupied, others empty. The weeds that sprout up through the cracked pavement and broken glass are withering in the July sun.
