Up Close and personal with the Famous Seattle Gum Wall

Category: images
Tags: , , , , , , ,

There have been many pictures of the gum wall. I took these with the good ole trusty iphone4. The mix of bubblegum, smoke and the marine air wafts towards you as you walk by. I can only imagine how many pieces are stuck there. Good thing is that the baddies in your mouth and the things that gums are made of don’t allow for them to live all too long. So in a sense the gum is not toxic in case you happen to fall on it, and since it rains so much in Seattle (not that much when I was there). the rain water should wash away a lot of the spunk.

also if you are looking for this place. and haven’t found it quite yet. At the entrance of the fish market under the large clock, take the stairs on the left near the ramp that goes down. and you can find this wonderful trove of gum there.

A couple of weeks I went to go and see the Tim Burton Show at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Although I was not slick enough to take pictures of the exhibits and things by Tim Burton. I did take a picture of my ticket; on a fork; at the counter next to the museum. The other images were “borrowed” form Fubiz.com, a french blog. Thanks Fubiz.com, you are awesome.

the entrance fee was around $20 for non-members and free for members. parking is around $10 with validation. thats parking across the street.
