A beloved downtown statue has been returned to his rightful perch after being damaged by revelers, or what’s commonly referred to as “boneheads.”<\/p>\n

Manneken Pis, a replica of the original in Brussels, was toppled<\/a> on Sep. 20, 2021 and had to undergo weeks of repairs.<\/p>\n

Manneken Pis got his groove back on Dec. 2, 2021.<\/p>\n

While The D’s owner, Derek Stevens, was noticeably irked at news the photogenic statue had been damaged, but the time Manneken Pis was returned to the fountain near the casino’s valet entrance, he was in much better spirits.<\/p>\n

“About 10 weeks ago, on the Sunday night of Life is Beautiful [music festival], there were some revelers who came in and started dancing with him. It got a little crazy and he went down,” says Stevens.<\/p>\n
