It's
GUM!
...And a
lot of it! Contributors have been at work since the sixties in San Luis
Obispo, California, where the wads are ten or fifteen pieces thick in
the most popular spots along Bubblegum Alley.
According
to locals, it's especially memorable on hot days, when the unforgettable
smell of thousands of pre-chewed mouthfuls of Bazooka surrounds you in
the narrow passageway.
"Ew!
Gross!" is the most common reaction of passersby who have yet to
appreciate the cultural significance of this work in progress. In case
you want to make a pilgrimage (and a contribution), Bubblegum Alley is
in the 700 block of Higuera Street.
Is it
art?
