Gum-Sticking Destinations, A Virtual Guide
After seeing a post on Likecool about gum stuck to the walls of Post Alley, under Pike Place Market in Seattle, I did a little research and found that the human urge to stick absolutely massive quantities of gum to stuff is not unique to Seattle.

Next stop: Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo, CA
Next stop: Penny Tree near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
