I honestly always wonder, do most of you know Detroit was founded by yourselves (I guess the name would make it obvious).

Do the French see Detroit as a long lost child/cousin, or are they totally detached? It's been centuries since French control haha, so maybe this is a stupid thought. I wish this city embraced it's French heritage more like New Orleans does with their flour-de-lis symbols and such. But I guess Detroit has it's own strong identity.
I feel like there is a movement of whites moving into the city that try to appropriate some of what they believe to be "french". Like the Marche Du Nain Rouge, Tour de Troit, the Detroit City Football Club using "Le Rouge" as its nickname, etc.
