Comments left:	JMK, I just posted something about Chum Gum on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website. Afterwards, I thought I'd do an online search of CG. I also used to buy Chum Gum in a St. Louis confectionary (I also mentioned confectionaries in the P-D post). This particular confectionary was in north St. Louis near the Walnut Park neighborhood, just west of Interstate-70. A group of us kids used to run across the interstate (Shhh! Don't tell my mom!) to the park and ballfields east of there. That is, when we weren't playing stepball, riding bikes or trading baseball cards. But, yes, Chum Gum was great. I'm sure if I even smelled a stick I'd have involuntary visions of a bygone world populated by finned automobiles with sweeping lines and the calls of a street vendor yelling "Hot Tamales" -- as he pushed his cart down our street on a summer's evening -- ringing in my ears.
