An update on the Chicago sidewalk street rat. Hear about it at urban legends and stranger truths well, some dirty rat culprit filled in the Chicago neighborhood landmark, which is known as the rat hole. Now, in a city infamous for its gangster past, some culprit has filled in a Northside Chicago neighborhood landmark affectionately called by residents the rat hole. The indentation in the pavement on West Roscoe street resembles the outline of a rat with claws, tails and all

Hey, Bob, you keep reporting on this. This is cute. It really is. But I'm going to say what I said before. These people ain't got nothing else to do. Like, it's a squirrel. A squirrel fell in some concrete a long time ago and it left an imprint. It could have been a pigeonhole and they'd have just been excited, but whatever

You sometimes in life, it's the little distractions that help us to just get around problems or things that have occupied our minds. And something that is so trivial and so insignificant that it actually provides a moment of relief and a chance to just take a small laugh and then move along. That's really the thought that I had behind this. And I don't know if that's the intention of the people who lived in that neighborhood, but for them, it's kind of the same thing

Yeah, I think they just get a chuckle out of it. It's just levity. Just something that they want to laugh about. There's so many quirky things here and everywhere, actually, across America, so, yeah, I think it's an interesting story. I just was laughing because they call it the rat hole. I just thought it was hilarious
