Lions win streak stopped at one. The Red Wings start the season 0-2.
The Tigers ended the regular season tied with the Twinkies (Minnesota
Twins) after leading the division since May 10.
But that's just sports.
This
weekend also saw the opening of Midtown's Burton Theatre, Art Detroit
Now descended onto the city, and, well, nearly everything else about
Detroit you love is still here (except Tiger Stadium and the
soon-to-be-gone Lafayette Building).
Yet, the Tigers seem to set that mood, at least for @Richfelton: The Detroit Tigers are causing me to
drink!
Please, @Richfelton, drink responsibly.
Maybe
a few of you saw tanks on the streets of Detroit this weekend. Don't
panic, it's not martial law, it's Red Dawn, a remake of an '80s flick
about an invasion of the U.S. by the Soviets.
@detroit28 saw the action:
Why is there an M1 Abrams tank and ground
troops on Adams Ave. in Detroit today? Ok, it's just a scene shoot for Red Dawn
at the Subway.
And finally here's a bit of Detroit history.
@Samster09 reminds us that Detroit was the first city to see Dick. That's the comic strip "Dick Tracy," my friends:
On this day in 1931 - The comic strip
"Dick Tracy" made its debut in the Detroit Daily Mirror. The strip
was created by Chester Gould.
