   Gum Trees
Perhaps the inspiration for Snakes on a Plane, South Street’s gum trees prove that consumers, or in this case local drunkards, can give wings to any bizarre idea, no matter how unsanitary. They sit between 3rd and 4th Streets, with Lorenzo’s Pizza, Three Stooge Larry Fine’s childhood home, and a whole host of B-list shopping. And who can resist the idea of hundreds of saliva-soaked colorful gum wads congregating in one place? The local Duck Tours, which drive by the trees every half hour, duly note their existence to all the skeptical tourists who thought preserving used gum was only meant for Violet Beauregard.
