This week tweeters seemed to be reacting to various events with a bit
of optimism. For example, the primary election held last week brought
out more positive thoughts than may have been expressed beforehand.
@Lesnikki hoped for the best as they tweeted:
Please Detroit, let's do better this time.
To that end,
@DeltaGirl6ZP01 seemed to have done her part:
I voted for the Future of Detroit MY CITY.
And to the potential naysayers and critics of the results of the election,
@Vita43 offered this ultimatum:
Ok don't complain about the politics in the city of Detroit if U DIDN'T GO VOTE FOR A NEW MAYOR OR CITY COUNCIL!!!
All these well wishes seem to have gotten the job done; though turnout
may have been low, this election brought about the change in city
government wanted by many. Suffice to say,
@rumblestrip,
@DougZuba and
@Rpsawyer from this week’s
edition must be very pleased.
As the city seems to be on it’s way to recovering, many tweeters espoused well-wishes and hopes that it would.
According to
@JeffYaniga, the city deserves it, as he muses something we’ve already known:
Detroit
is an interesting city these days. Met many hard working, family loving
people who care about their city and care about their jobs.
Thanks, Jeff -- here’s to hoping the rest of the world recognizes that soon.
@Sallybemis tried to help by sending the city some positive energy:
Been thinking a lot about Detroit today. Sending out good wishes to a struggling town.
This week’s TOTW comes courtesy
@StevenKhoshaba, who said that Detroit is not only receptive to the love, but needs to react to and rejoice in it:
Detroit's heart beat longs for love. Let's take it to the city, let's take it to the streets.
With that thought in mind, how can you not have a good week?
