As tornado-damaged St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Iowa City was demolished yesterday, the lone remaining resident, Ricky the Raccoon, refused to leave. This photo gallery tells the story. Link -via Metafilter
Poor little guy! Even though raccoons really are (can be) pests, especially in the city, I can't believe no one called an animal services organization. Surely Iowa City has a professional who could have *safely relocated Ricky.
