STL DPB ON THE ROAD - KEEP FREMONT FREAKY

Yesterday's picture of a statue of Lenin was set in Fremont, perhaps Seattle's oddest neighborhood. It goes further. Under the Aurora Avenue viaduct lurks the Fremont Troll, certainly one of America's strangest pieces of public art. This design actually won a competition for what do do with a place that had become habituated with drug dealers.
