CHICAGO (STNG) ― Food inspectors shut down a Chinatown food market Friday after finding live mice, more than 200 mouse droppings and garbage accumulation.

The city's Dumpster Task Force visited Mayflower Foods, 2104 S. Archer Ave. Friday to follow up on complaints of rodent activity in the area, according to a release from the Department of Streets and Sanitation.

Upon arrival, inspectors found close to 200 mouse droppings throughout the store, including the sales area and where food is stored, the release said.

At first I thought this must in China. Hard to believe it went this long without health inspections shutting it down.

I've been to many a restaurant that should have been shut down. Once there were live cockroaches on the stairs going up to the bathrooms. Then I noticed the servers would be sure no one was around when they opened the kitchen doors. The tables that we sat at were all enclosed with drapes. It was a very unusual Chinese restaurant in a major city. That was over 25 years ago so no need to mention who or where it was.

Lucky none of us got sick!

Went through Wendy's drive thru once and saw a rat the size of a small dog climbing the drain pipe on the outside, and the drive-thru workers were wondering why I drove right past the window. :roll:
