Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much Manuel "Troll Under The Bridge" Moroun (Matty), owner of CenTra, Inc., Detroit International Bridge Company, and the Michigan Central Station, is worth? |

I would guess more in actually power (holding an international bridge and what not), than he may actually be worth. |

You would have to ask Kwame and his Mom, maybe Buzzzz Thomas too. They have their hands in his deep pockets to look the other way as he rapes the neighborhood around his bridge. |

Besides being completely unsensitive and irrelevant, a lot of people care. He has a son, and his companies aren't just going to disappear. |

In terms of amount of property owned in Michigan, I'm told he comes second only to the City of Detroit. Lots of shell corporations, nobody knows exactly what he owns. |

I used to live at St. Anne and Bagley and Moroun's people were always coming around trying to buy people's property. I'm assuming so they could pretty much level it all and make more parking for semis coming off the Ambassador. It's so sad to see a thriving, vibrant Detroit neighborhood get bullied by a greedy old man. |
