World's Largest Fork By Mass — Attraction in Springfield

The giant angled fork is a place of friendship and fellowship. The times that were had will always be remembered. The fork was incredibly hot to the touch, but only to physically show the love it had for its food, which we will never know the name of, for it is underground to be hidden from unworthy people like us that wonder about it. I could have a guess of what food it is by seeing how pointy each individual tip is on the fork, but only the worthiest of worthy of those who are endlessly unworthy could ever know what the theoretical points of the fork look like. No one knows when or why the ancient Earthling Giants planted it there, or what they used it for, but I do know that we shall not ever know the secrets of their ancient uncivilization. And for those who understand what I mean, Roger and Dodger are the only beings on this planet that know the origins of the fork, for they were sitting inside of it soaking in the ever loving heat of the fork and meditating on the possibilities of its origin while something from an unknown place let them know what humans have wondered about for hundreds of thousands of years, what food was under it, which is the only food on Earth to ever have four holes in it for at least two hundred thousand years straight, while never being eaten or spoiled. And while all of the people that they ever knew danced around it, they just sat inside the fork grinning at them because, of all beings, Roger and Dodger knew something that the history of...

THIS 35-FOOT TALL, 11-TON FORK STANDS SHINING in front of an office building in Springfield, Missouri, tines sticking into the ground.

The fork was once a fixture outside a restaurant at 3662 S Glenstone Ave. (now a Prima’s Mexican Grill), but when the restaurant closed down, the firm Noble & Associates relocated it outside their office. The towering eating utensil is worth a drive-by and a quick picture. More info on this fork.

Just an FYI, the restaurant where the fork once stood didn't fail in the traditional sense -- it was hugely popular. The customers wanted to eat on location, but the person who opened it envisioned everyone picking up food and going elsewhere. His vision wasn't realized, so he closed it, to the disappointment of his many customers. At least that's what people here say. All I know for certain is that business was booming, but one day there was a closed sign with no explanation and no warning.

The fork was moved eventually to where it is now, which is probably good to ease the sad reminder of the food...

This was a fun find driving around Springfield. I saw some creative pictures online of people looking like they were trying to grab the fork and I tried to duplicate it. Unfortunately it was raining super hard and when the lightning started I had to give up. I propped my cellphone against my water bottle and used the 10 second times to get in position. It’s better if you hold your hand the way I am doing it in the pictures verses some of the other ways. We went early on a Saturday morning around 7:15’ish. There were no cars or people in the way. If you want a no cost thing to do in Springfield I highly recommend this and the sculpture hunt they have downtown. Just don’t do it in...
