- Chicago is saying rest in peace to a world-famous landmark. No, not The Bean, and not Wrigley Field. They're bidding adieu to the “rat hole.” The plot of cement, with an impression resembling a splattered rat, or maybe a squirrel, has caused commotion in Roscoe Village for months. So, city officials finally decided to remove the entire section of damaged concrete. The slab of concrete was preserved but its future has not yet been determined, officials said. Inside Edition Digital has more.
All the crime in Chicago and they're worried about the rat hole?
Chicago isn't even in the top 10 most dangrous cities. Fox news lied to you.
Chicago and New York have to be the most ass backwards city’s in America
What came first the chicken or the egg? Is the crime there because people in power refuse to propose effective solutions, or because we all have preconceived notions about others morals
Yes, that hole is a statement of Chicago a wonder of the world if you will
For real😮
Meanwhile there's 39 Optimus prime glory holes on the I 95 alone
Bigger rat hole on I95 in South Carolina 😮
Haha nice analogy 😁
Oh I get it 😂
I don't get it.
@@mattchagnon5620 aka potholes. Still not get it? Look it up at the internet.
This is seriously stupid
I thought it was a euphemism for something else 😂😂 it’s a literal rat hole! Doesn’t this city have bigger issues to fkn worry about?
@@khatzeye yes, plently 😂
Chicago bro they’re not known for intellect, common sense situation awareness or morality
@@nooneinparticular7980 😂 facts
As a Chicagoan, I agree, they have way too much time on their hands, I just look at it as a hole I’m trying not to trip on 🙄
Just put it in a museum
they probably will honestly
Why it’s has no meaning unlike stuff in a museum
Yes
@@UrFavoriteFurry400It's basically landmark, the people gave it meaning. It needs the respect it deserves, people thousands of years from now would definetely find it funny and intresting lol.
@UrFavoriteFurry400 it has meme value. The 21st century hieroglyphic
I bet someone would’ve paid a lot of money for the rat hole, could’ve turned it into a charity auction
It kind of lost value when people filled it with gelatin and random trash
@@bigboi4488I feel like a quick spray with a power washer would take care of the gelatin, and then someone could just scoop out the leftover trash with gloves.
Yeaah, some rich creep or politician coulda used that to launder money! Shame on them.
The local council has likely already sold it to someone and pocketed the money from it
Average use of tax dollars
Does that mean the whole city disappeared?
Yes
Same reason why Ohio is a myth
It’s part of Chicago history, when life is stressful this makes us happy. This is very important.
Damn, so with all the crime and actual public property damage like fully cracked and broken sidewalks and massive potholes they decide to get rid of this tourist spot that no doubt was the only reason people would willingly visit Chicago. Good job guys, just like always you got your priority’s right
They probably don't want the tiktok zombies that would travel to Chicago to stare at a hole anyways, especially the ones that thinks that's all there is in Chicago.
i guess you miss the part that tourists were disrupting the residents with all the noise
@@ernestogastelum9123 And I guess you missed the entire point of the comment 🤦 You're definitely a troll
Crazy they find a home for a rat hole but Ignore their homeless
The Inside Edition reporter sounded so sad and depressed.
YOU MONSTERS HOW DARE YOU REMOVE HIM :(
"Temporary storage" aka for they're going to auction it off at Sotheby's
Bahahahahaha 😂 exactly what I was thinking
i thought NY is the biggest rat hole 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And dc is a swamp with rats
as a New Yorker, I'm also puzzled lol but I find this funny
How stupid.
People must be bored
It needs to be put in a museum. It’s to perfect.
They should move it to a location they want tourist to go. It’s still really cool to see. And it would help make the city money at shops around it.
Gonna be a protest blocking traffic until it gets returned. Calling it. 😅
I'd like to know the price tag on the removal / repaving because it's usually pretty exorbitant. I'm sure Chicago has more pressing issues worthy of the cost and time.
They definitely charged the city 300k for that easy fix…
But the idiots in city council can’t fix any other issues that matter?
This thing existed for decades even before the big bean. It only got social media notice. In Jan 2014.
This is an outrage
Seriously? All the crime going on in Chicago and this is what they're worried about?
Looks like a squirrel imprint that fell from a tree when the concrete was wet
Would've been cheap to just fill in the hole.😂😂
It was filled in with resin And you can’t get that out after it sets.
They tried to but people removed the cement and decided to not fill it anymore
@@Winterfur1they could probably break it out with a hammer and a metal pick
@@JinxNightcorethat wouldve cracked the sidewalk up 🙄🙄🙄
@@oddfox6776There's Ways where you can't Crack the entire side walk when doing these things.
I genuinely dont understand why they'd even cover it up? Commotion? You mean people were so caught off guard by a rat hole they took pictures? WOMP WOMP
It belongs in a museum.
Why the Doritos?
Sponsors smh
Why any of this 😂
Well I guess they're trying to keep their mind off the crime that's going on in that City😂😂😂😂
I hope they put it in a park
They need to put it in a museum or something. A piece of Chicago history
Best idea
You can also feel the sadness of the reporter about the rat holes farewell
😔😔🤭🤣🤣
I love animals but come on people….It’s a body indentation of a RAT….
and it's beautiful and deserves to stay on it's place
Rip rathole you helped me through tough times:(
They act like there’s not millions of other animals who get stuck in concrete yearly.
Just a waste of tax money
Crazy how they'll fix this but not all of Chicago's bigger issues
temporary storage 😂
Damn can’t believe the entire city of shitcago is gone, rip everyone there.
We ain't ever gonna See that thing again I bet it broke as soon as they took it off the back of the truck
Nothing lasts forever.
It's just ugly
Okay so actually they did not destroy it, from the title I thought that they went and filled it in, it might actually be interesting if it ends up in some some sort of pop culture museum, at the very least it would be protected there as then it would not be subject to erosion or vandalism
"QUIT HAVING FUN! 😭"
Southside: Blowing up
Chicago: I sleep
Rat-shaped hole: exists
Chicago: Now this is an Avengers Level Threat!
Party poopers😂😂😂
Now there's a bigger hole, should attract more people there
can't wait for the day that my sidewalk becomes a tourist trap and i have to put it in a museum 🙃
Banksy needs to pay tribute to the "hole"!
Wow that created tourists HOWEVER DUMB DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE TO FIND SOMETHING USELESS INTERESTING
Idk maybe enjoy the little things in life?
Life is a whole lot more fun when you learn to just enjoy simple things.
Also you're a furry. Many people would consider that useless or weird but it isn't hurting anyone and it brings you happiness so why should anyone hate on that.
Rat Hole also wasn't hurting anyone and brought people happiness so I don't understand the hate.
Sad I never got to see it 🥺
Henry jones jr once said, it belongs in a museum
If they put it in storage that means they do care about that piece, soon it will be auction off 😂😂😂
Who gets up on the weekend and says lets go look at a sidewalk i saw on social media…
i disnt get to see it 😭
Put it in a museum
do NY have one
chicago no longer has any retail value
Damn do people not have anything to do or what
i wish they focused more on potholes that actually bug people on the road
That shiz had crack Imfao 💀
I've heard it was filled in before and someone made another, so this is a never-ending cycle
R.i.p
Meanwhile also in chicago:
Some kids shooting holes through someones wall
Woman getting kidnaped on a corner
Some guy spray painting all the shops windows
20 people looting a store
2 homeless camps set up their tents and throw needled everywhere
and the city officials think an indent on a random concrete slab is the biggest of their problems
Now this is real news that we all have to worry about
never heard of it
What is this??? Is that new lingo talk? Rat hole….where a rat has a hole in cement slab?
I believe that’s possibly a Squirrel. But it’s technically a rat anyway.
HOW DARE THEY DO THAT TO MASTER SPLINTER
Make it a public art installation!
not the rat 😔💀
Complaining about the noise? Dude it's Chicago you will hear a fire truck every 5 minutes.
This should be in a museum
Stupid to destroy such a landmark!
That looks more like a squirrel.
They really e-rat-icated that problem.
😅
They should put it up for auction
forgot the "no fun allowed" sign
Just ruined everyone's fun
Now they can charge fees to view it.... Typical. Show interest in something and its taken away unless you pay
NO RAT HOLE 😭 R.I.P
Hole in floor replacement > Crimes
Shitcago really removing an imprint of a rat, but ain't gonna bother with children being caught in the crossfire of drive-by shootings
This is like of what you would put in for an ai image prompt. The prompt would be: "chicagoans react to a rat-shaped hole in the sidewalk pavement" 💀
This is the worst timeline
Why did it seem like a middle school student was narrating this?
Put it in a museum? 🤔
Did Chicago not learn from the last time?
It will simply be dug out in a matter of days/weeks.
could have just place it somewhere where a crowd is not a problem, and not destroying it
RIP.
A artist with edge grinder should make a new one
Hopefully an art museum
PUT IT IN A MUSEUM😡😡😡😡
It's a Banksy! 😂
they should def put it on display, it would be cool
They could auction it off
It breaks
*RIP*
