The remaining block of Detroit's Greektown looks a little European-ish: https://goo.gl/maps/igSr3s2MmXY1Mfkv8
This area in Marquette could be Ireland if you squint at an angle: https://goo.gl/maps/Ctyobz5pQQiL9qe19 |
I think the Great Lakes cities seemed to develop in a way that doesn't look very European. Big wide streets, mostly detached housing, etc. Older cities in the Midwest like Cincinnati, Pittsburgh (not exactly midwestern but close enough), and St. Louis might have more vaguely Euro-looking neighborhoods and street scenes. I agree that so much has been lost to demolition, unfortunately.
