The Chicago Rat Hole, a rodent-shaped dent in Roscoe Village, was already restored once on Jan. 19, 2024. — a rodent-shaped dent in Roscoe Village that recently became an off-beat tourist attraction — was filled in with cement and, once again, dug out by devoted fans Wednesday.
But by midafternoon, Rat Hole loyalists had apparently dug the cement out of the hole. Neighbor Emma Cheski, 25, said she saw a few people scooping it out with spoons and license plates. Chicago’s latest attraction, a rat-shaped hole that stops passersby in their tracks, as they stop to look, photograph and leave assorted items, is seen in the 1900 block of West Roscoe Street on Jan. 16, 2024.
The last time the hole was filled in was Jan. 19, at the height of its fame. A group of neighbors and fansMuch of the tourism surrounding the Rat Hole has since died down, neighbors said. Thursday morning, West Roscoe Street was quiet. Only a few pieces of litter surrounded the hole: green beads, an “I voted” sticker, a business card. The hole itself remained intact, aside for some dark discoloration, perhaps due to the recent splatter of cement.“Why? What’s the point?” Turner said.
