Troll, Lenin, Cinema, not Taoiseach (yet)

So, in Fremont, there's a Troll Avenue.

Quite nice already. But there's an actual troll at the end of that avenue, underneath a bridge.
Really great. But the best part (in my easily amused opinion) is there was a vote to decide the kind of art to put there. It means there exists a community in which a majority of people decided the statue of a troll was a good thing in order to meet the goal of building "a greater sense of place in the neighborhood[*]."

It's within walking distance of the Lenin Statue and "Fremont Almost Free Outdoor Cinema." I'm not making any of this up, honest.

[*]: As they say. I'd write "neighbourhood" but the guys over there don't speak nor write Taoiseach English.
