Seattle's Eclectic Fremont

 

            
Couldn't resist adding another entry on Fremont, a very eclectic little place very close to downtown Seattle.  There is the troll under the Aurora avenue bridge which is quite large...the hand is covering a real volkswagon bug car.   A bench outside a little store beckons one in to visit or just sit a spell if you want to view the rocket that is on the corner of the store....it is nonfunctional but real.  Fremont is also the resting spot of a statue of Lenin.  Yes, it is quite an amazing little town full of a lot of different ideas and peoples.  Lots of influence from the 60's, 70's and the University of Washington crowd.

Put a Smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Wishing you health, happiness and laughter.
