Cass Corridor Revelers Banish Nain Rouge From Detroit

It's springtime again, for the Nain Rouge and Detroit. Can this gritty, never-say-die city once more lift its weary spirits by banishing this mythical little monster that Cadillac first "encountered," probably while on a bender, back in the eighteenth century? Let's find out.

Risin' up back on the street /Did my time, took my chances /Went the distance now I'm back on my feet /Just a man evil red dwarf and his will to survive.

Adorable children dressed in dinosaur costumes are willing to stand up for Detroit and fight the Nain Rouge. Are you?

The Nain has Spidey powers? He's more dangerous than we first thought!

The Nain is terrified of ferocious dogs and this guy means business.

Nain banishing is hard work. Smores, made with marshmallows roasted in a fire barrel on the back of a bicycle, rank among the best foods for carbo loading during the Marche Du Nain Rouge.

When all else fails, confuse the Nain with a mask made from old 45s.

This is how bad the Nain Rouge is. Even People Against Goodness And Normalcy (P.A.G.A.N.) turned out to help get rid of him. 

The Nain is like Jaws. He always produces an heir just before you finally get him. Thankfully, Rodriguez is on it. He'll know what to do.

WDIV's Devin Scillian bravely stood up to the Nain, inspiring the crowd banish this vile creature. No one told Devin the Nain smells like the Trumbullplex on compost day.

Fortunately for Detroit, things always end badly for guys with Mission Accomplished signs.

It's even more fortunate that the Nain, like Kwame Kilpatrick, has his venial weaknesses. Seduced and then banished.
