Seattle’s Pike Place Market Cleaning Off Gum Wall For First Time In 20 Years

While many businesses would be vigilant in cleaning chewed gum off the walls, Pike Place Market in Seattle has been lax on that front for 20 years… on purpose: the “gum wall” below the market has become a beloved character as visitors have passed by through the years. It’s time for a fresh start, however, as the Market says it’ll be scraping off gobs of hardened gum next week.

    I'm sure that there would be a buyer for the gum after the scraping - try eBay.

    Disgusting. Now that's a proverbial "job that sucks".

    Better off to use a flamethrower, or have the inmate road crews do it.

    They need to give the gum to the illegals to chew, they don't deserve real food.
