    The site alleges that several abandoned and blighted houses belong to Moroun which are displayed with addresses in a 'parade' slideshow. Is this the counter attack to Moroun's ad campaign? Who is behind this?

    That it is. These are the same folks who ran the protest and rally in front of MCS in Roosevelt Park a couple of weeks back. They had part of this exhibit up, a lot of the people who tore down the fence in Riverside Park were passing out fliers there beforehand. It was the same day.
