Lennin's red hand

Over the last couple of years, I've seen Lennin's hand in Fremont painted red more often than not.

Don't sit or lie down on the streets of Fremont

By Jack Brummet, Frelard Ed.

This sign is around the corner from my office in Fremont.  Those are pretty similar to the hours when people sleep on the street in Mumbai--they settle in at dark and are up and about just after sunrise.  I've never seen anyone sleeping on our block or nearby, but the sign must be there for some reason.

Vladimir Lenin's red hand

By Jack Brummet, Seattle Metro Ed.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin's Red Hard, from the statue in Fremont (right across from my office) at Fremont Place and N. 35th Street.  The statue was constructed by a Slovak Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, under a commission from the Soviet and Czechoslovak governments.and was installed in 1988.  Unfortunately, the Soviet Union dismantled itself the following year, and a lot of Soviet artifacts ended up in the scrap heap.  A Seattle man found the 16 foot tall, seven ton sculpture face down, mortgaged his house, bought it, and moved it to Seattle.

The Fremont Rocket

By Jack Brummet, Start-up Ed.

I've been looking for office space, and today looked at one in the heart of Fremont--on the block with The Rocket. . .
