Tweet of the Week

So, Detroit, how was your weekend? What did you do? Did you tweet about it? A few people have a few things to say, so, we won't bore you with any further introduction. Here are this weeks tweets:

First off, there's a new paper coming to Metro Detroit. It's interesting and we're curious to see how it'll pan out (and, more importantly, how long it will last)

@Sliebler: I had to do a triple take on this one: New newspaper hits the streets around T-giving in Detroit.

Triple take indeed.

One of Detroit's infamous political characters Sam Riddle was hangin' out at Eastern Market over the weekend. He had this to say (assuming this tweeter is actually Riddle).

@Samriddle: Veggie Time- Going To Eastern Market -Get A Bite To Eat Over There. Love That Eastern Market ! It's A Detroit Good News Story.

Sam Riddle... is that really you?

The Boss was in town, sort of. He went to Auburn Hills, played at the Palace. However this tweeter, @Segerfile (as in Bob Seger?), had this to say about the show: Springsteen to the Detroit crowd Friday night, after playing Ramblin' Gamblin' Man by crowd request: "We love you Bobby, that was for you!"

We bring this up to point out that the Boss, on numerous occasions, called Detroit "Ohio." Not cool, bro. Not cool.

Speaking of not cool, the Lions and here is the gratuitous tweet from @Callierulesduh about another bleak Sunday: oh detroit. you got beat again???? noooooooooooo! win win win! pleaseee. :D

@Callierulesduh, don't was your exclamation points on the Lions. Please.

Not about the Lions is @bnetAdvertising tweet talking about giving Detroit a shot: http://bit.ly/HRpY Move To Detroit For An Epic Adventure

Of course, we'd like to remind this tweeter that moving to Detroit is just part of the "epic adventure." Once you're here, however, that's when it gets really good.

Now this tweet by @eringavle is an interesting one: where was everyone years ago? the mess in detroit would have been easier to clean up...I wonder how many jobs could have been saved.

It's a decent thought. It would have been nice if there was some foresight to this problem. But there wasn't. And there are people here now doing the best they can to not only help themselves, but Detroit as well. We gotta get over that, "Where were you two years ago," sentiment 'cause none of us have a flying Delorian to change that.

To wrap up on a less serious note, we have two tweets.

One from @bbuff27 that doesn't make sense: I'm a college educated young man but when the music come on, that Detroit radiates thru me

Please, what does that mean?

And one that does coming from @JUUSTINNNN: homeless men shaving in the library bathroom, oh detroit.

We'll leave you with that visual.

Keep reading. Keep tweeting. And follow Model D on Twitter here.
