Manny "Matty" Maroun ... slumlord & bully at the expense of the City and the Region?

[Tony Codfish]

I am curious about Manny “Matty” Maroun and his activities and holdings.

Everything I’ve ever come across about Maroun suggests that he is a self-absorbed bully who is consumed with his own narrow interests regardless of the negative consequences for anyone and everyone else.

His recent spate of deceptive political-style bridge ads are both galling and, in my opinion, reflect on the main local broadcast TV channels as complicit in Maroun’s deceptions, as those television broadcasters essentially *prostitute* themselves for his advertising dollars while simultaneously selling out the region’s best interests.

Further, the “bone” he recently threw Detroit, an offer to tart-up the old Michigan Central Station, was a slap in the face. The guy is a fucking SLUMLORD. He should be keeping up his properties regardless!

Are we really this uncritical and stupid?
Maroun is counting on it.

I am curious about what is known of his other properties along the Detroit River. I understand it’s a huge amount of property. This could certainly explain, in part, why we don’t have the sort of attractive recreational and mixed-use development along the river that one would expect with such a beautiful natural resource.

What other parcels does he own?

What else do we know about this guy’s dealings and holdings? ... any input would be most appreciated.
