Michigan Central Depot ideas

DTW is correct, Matted Moron needs the good PR of doing something positive with MCD, but unfortunately he's got the reputation of Mussolini and Ebenezer Scrooge combined, but without the glitter and good looks.

The Matted One has enough coin to rehab, market, and support the MCD through eternity, however, being a business person first, and last, it's his job to make YOU pay for it.

Whenever a right wing fascist can drink from the public well, they are all too happy. Moron is just as guilty as the next corporate ass pirate of taking welfare when it suits him.

The difficulty here is HOW he's perceived in the public's eye is of no conern to him. Reputation good or otherwise doesn't interest him. Only money does. And the richer they are, the cheaper they are. So until the city, county, or someone else ponies up the cash, he's not interested. The only other answer is to simply seize the station.

The city needs to take the MCD away from him, and turn it over to someone who can make a go of it. They have Moron dead to rights on endangering the public, ignoring citations, and can take the property through eminent domain. What they're paying a city attorney for, I don't know, but he's not worth a crap if he hasn't tried this avenue yet.

Better yet, maybe PETA should do an ad featuring Matted Moron wearing the carcasses of dead buildings on his back- with their reputation for shocking ads, it might work.

How about some spot lights around the perimeter to light it up at night and some loud speakers playing Beethoviana in the park.

ddf313-- Being on any register of historic places will not prevent a building from getting torn down. Just look at Hudson's.

How about they do something with the station, mothball the tower, but seal it off? That way the building can be used, but its not burdened for finding a use for a tower.
