A rat-shaped impression in a sidewalk, arms out, present for decades and noticed in January 2024. It became a pilgrimage site with offerings of coins and cigarettes, at least two proposals, and an argument about whether it was a rat or a squirrel. The city took the slab out in April and kept it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
