One of San Luis Obispo’s points of interest (or disgust) is Gum Alley. For who knows how long, and for who know what reasons, people have been sticking their chewed gum to the walls of this downtown passageway. SLO is a college town, so that probably has something to do with it. There are also a number of places along Higuera Street selling alcohol, which might also have something to do with it. And I imagine the newer layers were deposited by tourists making their pilgrimage to the oddity. I’m not a gum chewer, so I had nothing to add. However gross Gum Alley might be, at least it’s more original than padlocks on fences, shoes over power lines, or underwear trees.
But if moldy gum isn’t your thing, there’s this business nearby.
Did you try it?

DeleteWent to a protest and came back with some form of flu. The best thing about being a loner is not getting sick for many a year stretch. The one drawback is no one brings hot soup bedside. I ustacould shake a bug off in a day or two. I woke up one day and my driver's license said I was an old person. Now, 10 days in bed and I'm almost out of tissues and humor. Good thing this blog lets me know the world is still there and I can see sites without a footprint. Many are wonderous.
