The Market Theater Gum Wall

from See America · host RV Miles Network

Overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, Washington sits one of the oldest continuously operating farmers' markets in the united states - the 112-year-old Pike Place Market, where small farmers, craftspeople and merchants hawk their wares. Pike Place boasts more than 10 million visitors annually. It's the 33rd most visited tourist attraction in the world, and for good reason. Here, you'll find fishmongers at the Pike Place Fish Market, the first Starbucks, a bronze cast piggy bank named Rachel that weighs 550 pounds, buskers of all sorts, and at the Market Theater, Seattle's longest-running improv, Unexpected Productions. It's here, on the walls outside the theater, where you'll find one of the weirder attractions in the world. Welcome to season two of the See America Podcast. This week: the famed Market Theater Gum Wall.
