GRAFFITI IN SEATTLE

By The Flying Pinto









I wondered aimlessly around Seattle with another FA on Tuesday. We didn’t have an agenda, and luckily she enjoyed taking as many pictures as I did. I know I don’t usually post so many photos of the same thing but this was just so gross, yet so fascinating at the same time! We walked up an alley towards Pike Market and this wall full of “gum” graffiti is what we found! All those colors are chewing gum! The funniest part is the name in the top picture. I hadn’t noticed it when I took the photo but it says, Kristina. That is the name of the woman I spent the day exploring Seattle with! How strange is that?

If you want to find this “gum” wall, head to Pikes Market and if you look in this photo below you’ll see Post Alley, just under the Market Theater sign…just take a left and it’s a few feet down on your left! You can also get a closer look by clicking on the photos…they will enlarge so you can really see the goo: )

    The doctor, an old man who had seen war wounds from Vietnam to Serbia pulled a paper towel from above the sink, wiped his hands, turned around and looked at the young attractive FA sitting on the examination table. “Have you had unprotected sex recently?” “Never” said the FA, “but I did lean against a wall in Seattle…”

    I remember seeing this on tv. Gross, but still cool.

    Visually, it is quite beautiful – like a Jackson Pollock. In reality, it gives me the willies.

    When I was in junior high, kids used to stick their gum at the end of the paper straw wrapper and then they would shoot it up to the cafeteria ceiling by blowing from the other end of the straw. The ceiling was covered with dripping straw wrappers. One time, a desiccated gum-wrapper salvo fell into my food. It was the last time I ate in the cafeteria.
