Bubblegum Alley
Bubblegum Alley is a tourist attraction in downtown San Luis Obispo, California, known for its accumulation of used bubble gum on the walls of an alley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Local Links BubbleGum Alley )〕 It is a high and long alley lined with chewed gum left by passers-by. It covers a stretch of 20 meters in the 700 block of Higuera Street in downtown San Luis Obispo.〔
==History==
According to the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Improvement Association, the origin of the gum is "a little sketchy".〔"Asked & Answered." New Times 11-18, Dec 1997:〕 Some historians believe that the tradition of the alley started after WWII as a San Luis Obispo High School graduating class event.〔Asquith, Shirley. "Gum Alley Tour." Tolosa Times December 1997:〕 Others believe it started in the late 1950s, as rivalry between San Luis Obispo High School and California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) students.〔 By the 1970s, Bubblegum Alley was well established. When shop owners complained that it was "unsanitary and disgusting",〔Wardlaw, Lee. Bubble Mania. Aladden Paperbacks, 1997〕 the alley underwent a full cleaning. The gum graffiti survived two full cleanings in the 1970s.〔 In 1996, the BIA unsuccessfully attempted to have another alley cleaning.
