Chicago "rat hole" removed from sidewalk, but preserved intact
CHICAGO (CBS) — One of Chicago's landmarks is in jeopardy, but the landmark in question had been getting on some neighbors' nerves anyway.
The Chicago "rat hole" was a rodent-shaped indentation in the concrete in front of a blond brick three-flat building at 1918 W. Roscoe St., between Wolcott and Damen avenues in Roscoe Village.
The rat hole had been there for several years—some estimate around 20—but gained fame on social media just this year when artist Winslow Dumaine showed the sidewalk imprint in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in January.

Back in January, a nearby resident complained that people had been partying with alcohol; filming videos to promote their businesses, improv shows, or other personal interests; leaving garbage behind; and otherwise disturbing the peace.

A spokesperson for the Chicago Department of Transportation told CBS 2 it had indeed replaced the damaged sidewalk on Roscoe Street.
But rest assured, the rat hole has not been jackhammered out of existence. Crews removed and preserved the square of sidewalk with the famous rat hole intact.

"They did say it was intact when cutting it out, but I imagine it could fall apart. I have no need for it here in Roscoe Village anymore, so it's up to CDOT to dispose of it," Waguespack said.
CDOT is storing the sidewalk square temporarily while its future location is determ
