A toothy creature with spiral eyes has taken up residence on the front window of the old Roxy’s Diner on N 36th Street.
Scrawled in white paint marker, the window art delivers a three-part message that reads like an unofficial Fremont manifesto: “Stay Weird. Make Art. Confuse People.”
The creature’s days are numbered though. The building is slated for demolition this summer as part of a larger redevelopment on the N 36th Street corridor. Prometheus Real Estate Group plans to replace the block with a seven-story mixed-use building featuring approximately 300 residential units and ground-floor retail. An overview of the development will be presented at the May 26 Fremont Neighborhood Council meeting.
