I went during work hours by myself. It was quite weird; there were office windows by the fork when I took the pics. I can just imagine what they were gaggling about LOL! Overall, it's one dorky fun thing anyone with a fun bone should see and take a pic.

Super awesome - the fork is sort of on the back of the building, so don't be confused if your GPS drops you off on wrong side.

This fork is pretty awesome. It was almost 20 minutes out of our way, but I really like it anyway. It's just in front of a building. If you scoot out in the parking lot it can look like you're holding it.

This is tucked away, but great photo op.
[J Nichols, 02/07/2010]An employee at the ad agency helpfully told me the history of the fork and then added that landscapers change the plantings around the base and often add lots of green leafy plants - "it looks just like lettuce" she exclaimed. Worth a side trip for the happy staff alone.
