Onna trail up to the top of Stone Mountain in Georgia are some hugenboulders partly covered with dried-up, colorful globs of chewing gum.nYou walk between these boulders, which make a Bubble Gum Alley ofnsorts. There is a Bubble Gum Alley in San Luis Obispo, California,nand a Bubble Gum Wall in Seattle, Washington. There is (or, at least,nused to be) a surprisingly beautiful Bubble Gum Tree in Greenwich,nEngland. In my travels, I’ve been all four places but have only seenntwo of these bubble gum landmarks—I didn’t know about them to looknfor the other two! You can use Google to see if there is a bubble gumnlandmark near you.
