I love Scabby the Rat

With all the rampant development that's going on in NYC, thanks to Mayor Every-old-building-being-must-be-destroyed-so-a-new-ugly-one-can-be-built-in-its-place Bloomberg, there's ample opportunity to see Scabby the Rat. Unions pull him out and place him in front of construction sites that don't use union labor.

Here he is in front of NYU.

And here's a whole blogpost about a recent sighting in Brooklyn. But the one thing I didn't know was that they there's a fancy rat version of Scabby.

How awesome is that?
