Besides gum, people leave pictures, business cards and other mementos. Some pieces of gum were shaped into hearts and messages. Tourist Katri Mattsson said the gum wall was "pretty gross," but also "in way very impressive." Do you find this gross or impressive?

Officials say it is time for a cleanup and Pike Place Market announced this week it will take down the estimated 1 million pieces of gum off the walls of Post Alley. The market has hired a contractor that will use steam to melt off the gum, beginning Nov. 10. Pressure washing damages the historic building too much. Do you think people will go back to sticking gum on the wall again?
