That neighborhood used to be almost entirely Mexican families. Then it got gentrified.
A pothole being deified like this is symbolic of that shift.

I’m simply intrigued as to the shape of that hole.
From what kind of height did the poor bloody rodent fall?

Not likely of much use to rats though.

I saw a post a few days back supposedly quoting a local who said he rodent that made the hole was, in fact, a squirrel. Tho I don’t know how much use they’d have for blue pills of any kind either.

Perhaps Rocket J Squirrel?
I strongly believe a hammer and chisel were involved. Or else, as has been previously suggested, Wiley E Coyote.

Allegedly the hole has been there for decades. I doubt it greatly given the fine-detail in the toe imprints and knowing what Chicago’s frost will do to concrete.

Surely if was run over by a steam roller when the cement was still wet. Then it lept up and ran off.
