    The Chicago rat hole, also called Splatatouille, 

    That is the only reason Chicago is worthy of existence. Splatatouille. Pure genius.

    An apparent example of accidental lifecasting, the hole was described by The New York Times as “Chicago’s Stonehenge”.[2] Some neighbors and wildlife experts speculated that the impression was made by a squirrel rather than a rat, which was confirmed by a 2025 research paper.[3]

    Fascinating!
