You think that this was on purpose so they could have done a press release a year ago saying that they were going to replace windows? Probably did the least they could do and still call it windows instead of window.

I drive by the MCS several times a week. I still see some cherry-pickers and what-not parked around the place, so I'll withold comment. Matty's a businessman. Before he sinks serious money into the place, he has to have a use for it to retrieve his investment. Waiting for the MCS to be restored is kinda like waiting for Detroit to turn around.

One day...

I think hell just started freezing over when you wrote that. At this rate it is now projected that the windows will all be replaced by the year 15,398.

Manny to the inspectors, "Give me a break. Can't you see I'm trying?'

"Give me a break. Can't you see I'm trying?" By the way, have you guy's ever had lunch @ Slows?

...2 more additional windows were installed, at this pace.........

....1 more window this week.....

I'm sure these are just mockups for final selection. Hopefully someone selects the product and gets these ordered and installed!

I'm sure once Mr. Moroun is done suing the Federal and Canadian governments, MCS renovation pace will pick up.

Why is that good to know?

Every time I see this thread title, for a second I think it says MC 5.

Like, they're doing a comeback?

**Honky Tonk** · June-24-13, 02:39 PM

How's the MC5 restoration coming along?

Face lift for Wayne Kramer?

Because sometimes we act like we are the only city to potentially loose or have lost an important/historic railway station/depot! Plus we can all understand promises unfulfilled.

It was pretty nice seeing the Train Station all lit up while watching the fireworks this year. Thanks for putting some lipstick on your pig, Mr. Burns.
