gum wall

Post Alley, Seattle, WA.

It started in the early nineties, as patrons of weekly improv theater performances would stick pennies to the wall with gum while waiting in line.

Althought the land lords of Pike Place Market fought for years to get the wall cleaned off, it grew as more elaborate sculptures formed.

In an article in USA Today, it was mentioned as one of ten “great places to sample quirky Americana”.

Fan vilken äcklig vägg, har aldrig förstått meningen med tuggummi. Men man blev helt klart sugen att dra till Seattle, men det blir att nöja sig med att kolla in stan ovanifrån på communitywalken.
