Tweet of the Week: No more sports! And Dick Tracy in Detroit

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.

And keep tweeting -- but not about sports. We're sick of reading sports tweets.
