ewwwww......gross

 

If your walking down Higuera Street in downtown San Luis Obispo 

you may miss the most unique landmark of this

awesome college town.

 

Bubblegum Alley....

 

 

It is a 15-foot (4.6 m) high and 70-foot (21 m) long alley lined

with chewed gum left by passers-by.

 

The history of how it got started varies by who you ask

but it started sometime after WWII.

 

In the 1970's the wall was cleaned twice but since then it hasn't been touched.

 

People leave notes, make their names out of the gum.....

it's creative, gross and totally cool!

 

The best part of the experience  was listening to all the comments

of the other passerby's.

 

Some people wouldn't even walk down the alley because they were

so freaked out about the germs.

 

I loved visiting the wall. It's not something you see everyday.
