Crouched under the Aurora Bridge is an 18-foot tall, two-ton sculptor of a troll clutching a VW Bus, and glaring at passersby. Designed in 1990 by four Seattle-based sculptors, this quirky public art piece exemplifies the free spirit of the people living in the Freemont district. These funky natives dress their beloved troll up every Halloween to commemorate him for protecting them from the 1996 mudslide. On an average day, tourists and locals alike hang from his shaggy hair, and make a seat out of his hands and head. Only a three to four block walk from Freemont's business district, it is perhaps the best souvenir photo one can take.
