Ho Ho Ho Manny Claus Adorns his Michigan Central Ruin for Christmas

[Lowell]

Just when you think he couldn't be more exasperating [or cynical] he puts lipstick on his pig for the holidays. Shouldn't that be spent on fixing the mess instead?

[DetroiterOnTheWestCoast]

Maybe another window as a Christmas present?

Surprised scrappers haven't gone in and taken the hundreds of feet of orange extension cord yet.

That's been up there a good two weeks; the scrapers are either slipping or it really 'tis the season.

[canuck]

Beware; Manny has "a Dr Jekyll split personality" or rather a "Grinch flipside" to his "Santa side". He probably instructed his christmas crew to expose a lot of bare wires on icy puddles for the scrappers delight.

That's a really weak holiday display given the size of that building. Manny ought to pay top dollar to one of those nutjobs out in the burbs who go all out with massive gaudy electricity-sucking Christmas displays to dress our Coliseum up to the nines. People can tell their grandchildren how awesome/ridiculous MCS looked in December of 2013.

It is Matty, not Manny. I know his name is Manuel, but he goes by Matty. This proves he does everything just to confound people.

Isn't that a movie background location....

Maybe their doing a National Lampoon, Christmas Vacation 2; On the Road with the Griswald Family!

Who are you? One of his elves, er gnomes? The other confusion is the spelling of his last name as Maroun [made in the proofread press even], vs the correct Moroun [just remember u moron when in doubt]. I know he may go by Matty, but I prefer Manny as his name is Manuel vs his son, and heir apparent Matthew, who should be the real Matty.

It's lame, but it still looks good as you sit at a bar along Michgan Ave. looking over that way. He did this last year too. Anything is better than nothing.

But how many decades have people been waiting for that "anything" from a greedy slumlord ?

That would be a 'shocker'!
