Alone on V Day? You're Not Alone in LA

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, the scourge of singles who buy into the fake holiday. But for those sharing a meal tomorrow with a bottle of wine instead of a loved one, take heart that LA was recently listed by Kiplinger as number five on the list of the 10 best cities for singles in the nation. "Los Angeles promises an array of benefits to career-minded singles, from impressive average incomes to thousands of jobs in education, health care and the arts," writes Kiplinger. Employment growth here is also better than in DC, Chicago, and New York, while LA's singles ratio is the second highest on the list. [Kiplinger]
