Bubble yuck: Crews unstick old gum from famed Seattle wall

People also have used the gooey gobs to paste up pictures, business cards and other mementos.

On Tuesday, a fruity, sweet smell wafted through the alley as workers in protective suits blasted the dried gum with moist air.

People first began smooshing their gum to the wall while waiting for shows at the nearby Market Theater.

[...] the "gum wall" has expanded beyond one wall and onto other walls of an alley, pipes and even the theater's box office window.
