Gum Walls

Check out this wall in Seattle covered in gum. It's hard to get the scale of it from this picture, but since it was begun in the early 1990's, thousands of pieces of gum have been stuck upon the brick, turning it into its very own tourist attraction. There's even a Wikipedia entry about it.

On the wall are messages within each piece- some people deciding to post their hometown or a few even moulding the gum so as to create words about hope and peace.

Since the 'Gum Wall' began there have been reports of other walls of gum created in various communities across the United States, but none to rival this one. Check out some more pictures here.
