Bug's Mom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Dd & I went to WA last month on the train. Always a fun trip. While there, we visited the Gum Wall in Seattle. Some friends had taken pics there the last two times they were there, so dd thought that we should check it out, too. Once we got there, she wasn't so sure...:lol: She did go ahead and add her own gum and smiled at that point, but the first pic I took is my favorite.

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It is pretty gross if you think about it!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 It is pretty gross if you think about it!:lol: Yes, it is...however, once you're there and you look at it, it's also kind of cool. She stuck her gum on the end of her finger, then pushed it onto the wall, being VERY SURE that she didn't touch any other gum. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0mmaBuck Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's a disgustingly interesting sort of place. We walked by it by accident one day. Seattle's an odd place. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigomama Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I didn't know there was one in Seattle. There is one in the town I was born in, San Luis Obispo, CA. We loved going and leaving our gum there as kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 yeah, I think it's revolting, too. My oldest dd came back from a trip to Seattle last Summer with photos in front of the wall. I don't know if she added to it, I never thought to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne in MN Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I didn't know there was one in Seattle. There is one in the town I was born in, San Luis Obispo, CA. We loved going and leaving our gum there as kids! My kids and I visited that one when we were out there! It's called Bubblegum Alley if I remember right? Walking through it was disgusting. All I could picture was bacteria crawling all over the place. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was laughing as we left...seeing everyone heading towards it, chewing on their gum. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixieB Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 When you walk toward it, you can smell it before you see it. Aaaah, the fruity goodness mixed with a bit of invigorating mint! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixieB Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've lived in the area all my life and have never heard of it. Where exactly is it? Post Alley, between Pike and Union (Pike Place Market). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug's Mom Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've lived in the area all my life and have never heard of it. Where exactly is it? Do you know where Rachel the pig is at Pike Place Market? Near the pig are some stairs that go down. Take those. At the bottom, turn right (walking back, past the stairs), then left. Look for people chewing, laughing or grimacing. :tongue_smilie::rofl: :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkyKapers Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Great shot! It is interesting, all colorful and artistic, but gross at the same time. I would have made sure my finger didn't touch any other gum too. Eeww.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 There are Youtube videos of people licking the Gum Wall. A local Evening Magazine celebrity was dared to lick it and did (after lots of sanitizing spray). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initials are up there....somewhere:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
