Quite unusual sights exist in the city. The Wall of Chewing Gum is one of them. It appeared in 1993 and is located near the popular theater. Once, students queuing up to get theater tickets began to glue coins to the wall with a chewing gum. For many years, the city authorities have tried to deal with such a mess and diligently cleaned the wall. However, colorful pieces of chewing gum appeared again and again.
