This statue came all the way from the [Czechoslovak Socialist Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovak_Socialist_Republic) and ended up on "temporary" display in Fremont since 1995
### Fremont Troll

The Fremont Troll has been one of David's good friends since childhood. It's a bit of a uphill hike to get here, but where else will you find a giant troll under a bridge with an old VW?
### Berlin Wall Display

Only 6ft by 12ft, but still a cool piece of history
### JP Patches and Gertrude Statue: Late for the Interurban

This statue depicts two characters from [a local kid's TV show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._P._Patches) that ran for many years. David's father Gregg still gets nostalgic every time he sees them.
### Waiting for the Interurban Statue

These guys have been waiting a long time. Fortunately people freshen up their styles on a regular basis.

Fremont prides itself as being center of the known universe. This signpost recognizes that fact and points out other nearby and not-so-nearby destinations.
### Fremont Canal Park

A nice park with the steampunky-y leftovers of an old coal gasification plant and excellent view of Lake Union and downtown Seattle. [^amazingrace]
[^amazingrace]: Some reality TV trivia: This was the Finish Line for Season 3 of the Amazing Race and the Starting Line for Season 10!

A cool 21+ retro-arcade. Be sure to check out [Killer Queen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Queen_(video_game)) in the back if you've got 6 to 10 people.

You've got lots of Pho options in Seattle, but this is the one we like to order from

We had our had their first date here! David promptly spilled on himself, but you'll likely enjoy the cider more if you drink your's instead.

If you stay in Seattle long enough, you will learn to like IPAs whether you want to or not! Fremont Brewing is where David learned. But they do have some other good beers as well!
