I think that maybe the bit about architecture ought to be changed? It's after after all much closer to German architecture. /Zxmaster

[edit] I agree

I agree with you, because i saw a danish program about a danish biker, who travel through USA on a Harley Davidson, he meant that Solvang did´nt look very danish. He also though that it more looked like the southern part of Germany.

The biker asked a local dane about Solvang and said that Solvang, to him did´nt look like Denmark! The local dane said that Solvang isnt much danish anymore! The dane tolded that is because that the first people of Solvang: the danes. Isnt here anymore, that they are extinct and that there successors has moved to other parts of America and have moved over to the american lifestyle and culture.

After that, Solvang has been invaded by Americans and some few other nationalities who meant how the city should look out and what should be danish. Very wrong work! Because i am danish and Solvang dosnt look danish. Solvang seems more like a alpine village in Germany, Switzerland or Austria instead.

Beside the architecture, in Solvang, there has been planted foreign flags instead of dannebrog, there has come more restaurants serving american food mostly and there are a rstaurant who name is: Heidelberg! As i know! Heidelberg is in Germany! We danes can not get enough of germans in Jutland!

Your word as a Dane does not mean much, because your opinion and evidence amounts entirely to NPOV which is against Wikipedia's standards. Of course there are Americans and American food in Solvang, Solvang is in America, is that a concept hard to grasp? And I don't see how Americans could "invade" a town that was in America made by people who later on were defined as Americans.
