Chicago is teeming with tourist attractions - the Bean at Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Riverwalk, Wrigley Field - the list could go on and on. But this week a new spectacle has been drawing sightseers to a tree-lined sidewalk in a residential neighborhood miles and miles from the Loop.

They come to see the Chicago Rat Hole.

It's been there for ages.

It was a joke awhile back about how they paved over a squirrel or something.
Yeah, the article says it's been there for about 20 years but I guess it's in the news because all of a sudden it's a tourist attraction. :LOL:
First I've heard of it. :read:
