Tweet of the Week: What's a 'hot dog burger van'? And congrats to the '09s

The word on the tweet (ha ha ha) was and continues to be Tiger Stadium. It's staying up, it's coming down, some kids think it needs to stay, some kids want to bring it down. Regardless of your position, it's going to be sad to see a giant vacant lot on "the Corner."

But, let's not dwell too much. For crying out loud we have to find a Tweet of the Week...

So, wading through the Stanley Cup smack talk, more GM news, and, like I said above, Tiger Stadium talk, here are a few
runners-up that piqued my interest.

@TheMsKellyJo: Fun fact: in 1980 the city of Detroit presented suddam [sic] Hussein a key to the city

It's true... here's a Detnews article. I guess we all make mistakes, right?

@pstenser: Just landed in Detroit, does the weather take cues from the economy here?

No, @pstenser, the weather doesn't. That's scientifically impossible. Just ask Chuck Gaidica. He knows.

@WendyLAnderson
: Detroit sports make me really proud of this city!

Right on, Wendy. Keep rooting for the home team.

@EatingDetroit: There is a lot to love in our great city #Detroit. Add family & friends to some affectionately prepared food = *good life*

It's true. And it's good to be reminded that we have a lot to be thankful for here -- especially if you're lucky enough to have loved ones nearby.

@colutd1937: detroit only has a hot dog burger van

Really? ONLY a hot dog burger van? Where exactly IS this van? And what is a "hot dog burger?" Is this where EatingDetroit gets that affectionately -- prepared food?

@appstory: #Detroit: Delighted by new Eastern Market Community Garden next to our building. Kudos to Eastern Market Corporation and landlord Bob Heide.

Kudos to ALL our community gardeners in town. Thanks for keeping Detroit green and growing.

Congrats to these runners-up, but the winner is this little ditty:

@LoveLaTia: wishes I was in Detroit to see my '09s graduate from Cass today!

That's really sweet, LaTia. We wish you were here too. After all, we should all be congratulating Detroit's '09 graduates. They deserve some serious respect for their hard work and recognition as the future movers and shakers of the city. Keep up the good work, graduates.
