Have you ever been to a gum wall?

On Wednesday, I visited the gum wall in Greenville, Ohio.

There's a big one in Seattle. I lost my picture of it, but it's the only one I've been to and probably the biggest I will ever go to.

What's a gum wall?

A wall where people stick gum, as implied by the name. Some people think it's "artsy" but I just think it looks like shit. My thoughts on graffiti are similar (way too many people in my generation think it's cool).

The Seattle gum wall was cleaned off in 2015 due to the bricks eroding from the sugar in the gum.

It's since rebounded:



Here's a picture I got of the cleanup:

The wall in Canobie Lake Park (Salem NH) next to the line for the Yankee Cannonball roller coaster always turns into a gum wall, and has back to the 80's.
