For anyone who may be interested...
Thomas, thanks for posting that again. I posted that link a long time ago too, but not a lot of people seemed interested. Perhaps now that it is closer to travel season, they will find it useful. I also think Spiegel is good as is the Deutsche Welle.

For good info about individual cities one is going to in Germany, I think one can find a lot on Toytown, especially stuff like events or restaurants, since it is all written by people who live in those cities.
Thanks, Jo!
I will definitely use that toytown site.
Best regards!
On some PBS stations in the U.S., DW airs its English version progaganda, I mean news show, Journal, every weekday, and the weekly "European Journal."
