The gum wall has become a tourist attraction, and it's a fun place to go people-watching.
It could also be a great setting for a story.
- What if two characters meet next to the gum wall--and one character disappears?
- What if a character's walls at home are covered with gum?
- What if the gum can talk?
- What if the gum wall is magic?
- What if a character writes his or her name in gum--and that's the start of an adventure?
Get out a pack of gum, chew a piece while you think up story ideas, and then use the gum wall as a setting.
And if you live in Seattle, add your gum to the brick alley wall.
