πŸ‘πŸ‘ a great little piece to stop by and visit if you're able to. there's really not too much to see because it's just the "fork" but you don't need much else. stop by, snap a picture and keep moving. I think this piece serves it's purpose and it's a subtle joke to the street it's on. People often mention fork,

    I personally like when normal things are gigantic. If you are in the area is worth the picture. There's not much else here but as far as public art goes this is a fun novelty idea.

    Obscure art that, if you are in the least curious about, you should pay a visit. Parking isn't difficult. The nature of its location makes it difficult to take pictures without parking and getting out.

    Fun stop for a photo op! Quick and easy just a minute from the main highway.

    It was interesting to find a fork with a meatball in the middle of the road. The fork is about 18 ft. The material doesn't seem too steady and I won't reccomend sitting on the meatball. Parking can be an issue because you have to park on the street . It is a cool roadside attraction after all:) β€’β€’β€’ Updated πŸŒŸπ”½π•†β„π•‚ 𝕀ℕ 𝕋ℍ𝔼 β„π•†π”Έπ”»πŸŒŸ β€’β€’β€’π™ΏπšŠπšœπšŠπšπšŽπš—πšŠ,𝙲𝙰‒‒‒ 》The 18-foot wooden fork stands right where the roads split, literalizing the β€œfork in the road.” Originally placed by locals Bob Stane and Ken Marshall without the consent of the city, the statue was temporarily removed but has been replaced since the builders purchased the pertinent insurance and blessings from city officials....and since my last visit is still there October 2022

    Funny to see, but that's all there is to it. It's a giant fork in between busy roads. Not even a sure walk near by. If you are in the area, drive by. But definitely DO NOT make a special trip out there for it. Not worth it.

    Originally placed by locals Bob Stane and Ken Marshall, this 18 foot giant fork has become a must stop photo opportunity.

    You can miss this unique and interesting art work in Pasadena if your not approaching it from the south. Parking not the best near this installation. However there are some parking areas available some blocks away if you wanted to get up close to perhaps the most famous of the triumvirate of utensils

    It's a cute idea. The fork could use a good coat of paint. The kids were very excited because of the novelty. It's not everyday you literally see a "fork" in the road.

    Weird area to stop. Though it was a metal fork and its not. Its wooden. For as popular as this for is suppose to be youd figure someone would take better care of the area..flowers. Grass. Seating perhaps. Picked up a geocache

    BIG FORK!!! Fun for a photo opportunity.

    I mean, as you would expect, it is merely a MASSIVE fork in the road. But honestly it is one of the cooler odd things that I have come across on my travels and a lovely destination to walk towards if you just want to explore Pasadena. On your walk towards this landmark you will see several different areas of Pasadena, both rich and poor, and definitely feel how different the vibe of Pasadena is in comparison to the rest of LA. So be sure to check this random fork out haha, havent seen one anywhere else and honestly i'm here for the wordplay 😁🍴🍴

    It's a fun idea for a picture next to a giant fork. Stop by if you're nearby but don't make a special trip. I added the back after finding some plastic forks in the back of it.
