Tips from locals
This famous 70-foot long gum-lined alley is one of the most talked-about (and grossest!) landmarks in San Luis Obispo. While some historians believe it started after WWII as a San Luis Obispo High School graduation event, others suspect that Cal Poly students started it in the late 1950s. Either way, Bubblegum Alley has been a San Luis Obispo staple for decades. Make your mark Downtown and stick your own gum to the wall; some people write notes, create art, or leave messages.
