Crews removed a slab of concrete containing the infamous Rat Hole – a rodent-shaped dent in the sidewalk that suddenly drew spectators to Chicago’s Roscoe Village neighborhood earlier this year – on Wednesday, April 24.This footage was captured by Eric Marsh, a local who previously documented the various trinkets and tributes fans have left at the site.According to WBEZ Chicago, crews arrived early on Wednesday, removed the beloved dent, and replaced it with freshly poured concrete. Citing 32nd Ward Alderman Scott Waguespack’s office, local news reports said officials received complaints about people gathering at the rat hole and leaving food and litter at the site.The quirky tourist attraction was preserved, though, and is in temporary storage until its permanent residence is determined, reports said.
