Seattle's famous wall of gum

If you’re planning a trip to Seattle, be sure to schedule in some time to visit the city’s infamous gum wall located in Post Alley. Since the 1990’s, ancy theatre goers have been sticking their chewed up gum bits on the wall while waiting in line. The theatre tried twice to scrape the gum off, but finally gave up in 1999 when it became known as a tourist attraction. It’s filthy, but it’s kind of cool-looking, no?

But does it compare to the one in San Luis Obispo? https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bubblegum_Alley

Wow! That is really disgusting. I suppose if it weren't used gum, it would be pretty neat. I just can't get over the variety of germs that must be on the "fresh" gum. Hepatitis B can be spread through saliva! This is the main reason Dentists and Hygienists wear gloves and masks now--not HIV which is spread through blood. I'm surprised this is not some kind of health code violation. Blech!

They should give out little pieces of play-doh or something instead.

FYI, it's spelled antsy, not ancy. ;)
