Where to Get the Best Free Wordpress Templates

When you randomly search on Google for "Wordpress Themes" you might not be very impressed with the results that pop up. Many are galleries that show generic 2 column themes, with the huge arial fronts. They all look the same except the minor differences, like the color. Most premium themes are quite expensive, which many can't really afford to invest in this economy. Believe it or not there are actually premium quality themes for free on the Internet.
