Compare these with shots from 2006, 2007, and 2008. Just since my last visit two months ago (a month prior to Trip Advisor naming it number 2 of grossest places in its Top 5 list) some of the easiest to reach areas are noticeably thicker.
Gum wall at the Market Theater. (Click and choose larger image to fully appreciate this).
Market Theater Window, Post Alley. The gum is sparser to the south of the theater entryway, and more elaborate figures and letters are made in these areas.
The original part of the gum wall has become too crowded to add to, so the blobs are slowly creeping south down the alley.

How much DNA is left in that gum? Some people tend to manipulate an image rather than just stick a coin in a wad. Can you see the blue flower?
Now gum is appearing in the box office entryway and beyond on wall going further south along the alley. Compare this shot with the one like it that I took last winter.
The gum wall installation continues around the corner into the entryway now.
