What if Detroit had hosted a Summer Olympics?

It would be hard to find someone visiting the United States especially to go at Atlanta.

I would argue that France may be a little peculiar in this regard. My experience, having worked in Paris, Germany and the UK is that each of these countries has a very different orientation to the USA as well as to Atlanta. Because of the heavy concentration of immigrants to the US from the UK and Germany, there is, IMO. a very different knowledge of the cities in the US and their relative importance. For example, Atlanta is the North American headquarters for Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Thyssen, Siemans to name a few major German companies here.
