Did you know that the 2 coasts are also bound by 2 Giant Forks? One is standing upright & the other one is standing upside down. You've heard that expression take a right or left at the Fork in the Road. Well they've taken that geographical driving instruction, that's also a culinary eating utensil & turned it into a wooden statue. This is one of The Secret Hidden Gems of America that most people have never been to or even heard about before. The Giant Fork in the Road is 11 foot tall & is located in Westport Massachusetts which is about an hour outside of Boston. This Funky Flatware Art Piece was built in 2010 by Tom Schmitt. The 11 Foot Tall Giant Wooden Fork resides at the intersection of River & Old Harbor Roads in Westport. It is made out of white pine & painted silver to resemble metal. Tom's wife Kate was totally behind the project as well. Now as Cool as this sculpture is, they do something Special for the Holidays here. On the 4th of July they topped the Fork with a 6 Foot High Hot Dog. On Valentine's Day it's decorated with hearts. On Christmas it wears a Santa's Hat. We Americans Love our Wacky Road Side Attractions! LOL! Now the Fork Saga doesn't end here, it continues onward. If you travel West my friend for a mere 3,000 miles, well 2,986 miles to be exact, you will stumble upon the other Fork in the Road on the West Coast. The Pasadena California Statue stands at 18 feet tall with its prongs standing downwards. So the West Coast Giant Fork is Straight Down; The East Coast Giant Fork is Straight Up. The Fork Saga doesn't end there it continues onward again. There are some other Giant Forks around the country located in San Diego, Kentucky, Oregon, New York & the largest one is in Missouri. They all have their individual stories that need to be told by someone. So if you're in the Massachusetts/ Rhode Island area check out this Fork in the Road spot. Also to make it worth your trip, there's a great ice cream shop about 15 minutes away. It's called The Eskimo King in Swansea MA. It has over 350 flavors of ice cream & has been dishing out sweat treats since 1957. They also have a special retro mascot. You can read my review & more details of that place as well. Now since I visited here in Westport word is the Fork sculpture was stolen but luckily it has been recovered in Rhode Island. The Police are investigating & The Fork Bandits are still at Large. These Giant Forks in the Road really put a Smile on People's Faces. Everybody gets out of their vehicle & takes a picture. Do you have a Fork in the Road in your state? It would be great to have one in each of the 50 states & territories too. Well Have Fun on your Adventures & Culinary Travels & as I always say "MayThe Fork Be With You"! LOL! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!

It is one of the most iconic bridges since from either side of it you can take beautiful pictures of the downtown skyline.

Right by it you can dine by the river at River Social restaurant...a few steps away you will find the Capital Grille steakhouse and many other fun spots. This is a favorite place for brunch, weekday lunches by city workers and business people and many others.

Despite its modest footprint, the monument commands attention--a solitary soldier stands atop a granite pedestal, rifle in hand, gazing forward with a posture that suggests both vigilance and reflection. And it looks *exactly* like the one in Providence RI down to the same plaque on the base. The sculpture itself is traditional in style. The soldier's uniform and gear are rendered with care, and while the figure is not oversized, it carries symbolic weight. At the base, a small bronze plaque adds context: "Spanish War Veterans," with the years 1898-1902 and references to the Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. A small plaque reads, "Erected by the citizens of Fall River, Massachusetts in memory of her sons, who on land and sea served their country in the war with Spain, the Insurrection in the Philippines and the China Relief Expedition. 1898-1902. Dedicated October 30, 1938." [Review 1089 of 2025 - 1239 in Massachusetts - 24643 overall]
