who needs a pan! by summerfield

who needs a pan!

this pan had been on the side of the road going to the don mills bus stop for ages! i first saw it right side up about half a block from the corner and that was in april when i went for my shot. obviously nobody wants it or it would've disappeared a long time ago. yesterday, when i passed by it, it was almost near the corner. i'd like to see it move to the middle of the six-lane don mills and hear the racket it would make bouncing from one direction to the other. then we can perhaps call it the "flying pan".

another thought i had was that it probably belonged to one of the residents around the vicinity. someone must've gone tired of his wife hitting his head with this thing whenever he comes home drunk. i know, cliché, but the one stark realization is that: are our city workers/cleaners really that lazy not to be picking up this garbage?

i need a drink!
Great find

That pan really looks like it's seen better days.

Now I wonder too what the story behind this pan is...

It has certainly had some heat on it

it does make one wonder!

That's not a pan. It's a tomato smasher :-)

It certainly looks past its best.

It looks to be cast iron. It will be around a long time. Turn it right side up and plant flowers in it! LOL

Interesting find. How strange.

@louannwarren - no, it wasn't cast iron. it's one of those non-stick pans that got left on the stove until the food turned to coal. it really looked bad.

@marlboromaam - no stranger than a whole toilet and tank left on the sidewalk. haha!

It's no wonder no-one wants it, but I'm surprised that it hasn't been disposed of.

What a unique looking subject for you that invites an fascinating narrative as well. I feel there is a story in it for you somewhere! I would love to read it!

I wouldn't mind a drink about now. It is something that you know a backstory on this pan. No telling what will happen.

It's odd what one sees out and about.

You never know what you might find.
