Tweet of the Week: Detroit's thoughts go out to Ernie Harwell

This week, tweeters seemed to be discussing cars and traveling; what else can you expect from the Motor City?

For example, @brianpop definitely felt the need for speed: I had almost forgotten the unbridled joy of cruising Detroit freeways at 90+mph with near impunity.

We must say that we don't condone that and think that's a bit reckless (not to mention against the law).

So, perhaps it’s that kind of behavior that prompted this statement from @kendall: I love you Detroit but I have to say, your driving scares me a bit.

And @ProwlerAK has just given up completely: Funny.... I'm from Detroit but I can't stand cars. I don't care If I never drive again.

Motion was also on @stuartschorr’s mind, but instead of traveling in Detroit, he was traveling away: Will miss Detroit, a great town, vastly underated.

We’ll miss you, too, Stuart.

@creativemuffin was also leaving Detroit this week and his parting words give us our Tweet of the Week: Worst thing about Detroit....leaving it

Kinda gives you goosebumps, eh?

On a more serious note, another topic among tweeters was former Detroit sportscaster Ernie Harwell, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Many took to Twitter to share memories and express well wishes about the man many consider to be the voice of baseball.

@MattMyftiu seemed to put the news in perspective: Very sad news about Ernie Harwell, a true Detroit icon, having a year or less to live ... His voice will live on forever, though

Until next time, follow Model D’s tweets and keep readin' and tweetin'.
