I've been viewing this thread much to the enjoyment of myself, but I saw something that might be of relevance. My friend posted on her Facebook the cover of this month's French-edition of Glamour magazine. One of the articles is entitled "Detroit, USA La ville qui pulse en ce moment" which translates to "Detroit, USA The city that pulses right now". So for what it's worth, at least we are getting some international coverage, especially in a magazine whose demographic is women/ages 18-49.
