Giant Rat!
In May of 1997 when the Williams factory workers went on
strike, they brought out a giant, inflatable rat. This rat (as you can
imagine), was the source of much fun and amusement for us at the time.
Occasionally, if you're very lucky, you can see the giant rat here and
there around Chicago. Driving to work last week I saw it, strapped to the
back of a pickup truck, out the front of a condo construction site on Western
Avenue. This rat isn't as big as the Williams one, but it's still just as
cool.
The teamsters in the truck were watching me as I took photos, so I really
was ricking my life in getting these. I genuinely hope that they lost track
of me when I walked back to my car .. I don't want them to know my license
plate. No joke, the teamsters don't mess around!
