A friend had told me about a "wall of gum" located in Seattle, WA. On this enormous wall, you get to stick your very own piece of gum - saliva filled and all.

And just like in Seattle, WA, there is a wall of gum located in St. San Luis Obispo, CA.

See: The Seattle Gum Wall - A Sticky Attraction 

San Luis Obispo is a lovely place for a three-day vacation or even a week's vacation, if it fits into your budget.  Being able to hike, wine taste, shop and visit different breweries, there is also a nice shopping area located in the same district as Bubblegum Alley.

Bubblegum Alley is 15 feet high and 70 feet long. Every inch of this wall is covered with gum left by the tourists and locals. Although the amount of gum may be unappealing, this wall has a fun history and it is a cool place for Kodak moments!

The gum placed on this wall is set from the base up to about 10 feet up. Some individuals write notes on their gum ,create art, draw picture, or leave bubbles.

The gum wall is a reflection of current pop culture as you can often see notes on political/world events written in each piece of gum. And, if you happen to not have a piece of gum in your pocket, there is a bubblegum machine that sells gum for your convenience!

Adding your very own piece of gum to the wall is a tradition. It is ongoing history. Adding to the collection, as weird as it may be, is adding to the culture.

If you have deep interests into weird attractions or are looking for something extraordinary, this place should not be missed.

The gum walls of both Seattle and St. San Luis are both sites to be seen. If you are ever in the area, maybe just stopping by can make your trip more worthwhile!
