Adorned with the unofficial neighborhood motto "De Libertas Quirkas", Freedom to be Peculiar, if one is to believe the sign, the Fremont Rocket points skyward towards a waxing gibbous moon. The rocket, actually a tail boom for a C-119 Flying Boxcar, was destined for the scrap heap from its home at a surplus store in Belltown when it was rescued by the Fremont Business Assocation in 1991. According to the sign out front it actually took a lot of work to "get it up". It finally touched down in its current location in June of 1994 in time for the annual neighborhood solstice parade.
