Detroit — American Coney Island strikes back.
Grace Keros, the brassy proprietor of American Coney Island, summons a press conference to read the media the riot act over misinformation.
Neighboring Lafayette Coney Island, which shares a wall with American, has been shut down for the second time in two years for rat infestation.
American has no such problem, despite social media insinuations.
How?
Simple: Maintenance, mop buckets, exterminators, and trash cans.
Full disclosure: I am the handyman at American.
Watch the entire press conference here, including a guided tour of the bowels of American Coney Island, home of America’s first speakeasy.
