Two more reasons to love NOLA

As if I needed more reasons to love my new home, New Orleans, here are two more:

Yahoo! Real Estate, in an article titled, "Going Solo in the USA" said New Orleans is the fifth-ranked city when it comes to percentage of single people.

Fifth! And we're behind some pretty cool and hip cities -- San Francisco, Detroit, New York and Boston. Here's the list. (Sorry for the smushed table, but I just cut and pasted it in.)
The Top Ten "Solo Cities:"
Rank Metro % Single
1 San Francisco, CA 44.7
2 Detroit, MI 44
3 New York, NY 39.8
4 Boston, MA 39.2
5 New Orleans, LA 39.1
6 Los Angeles, CA 37.7
7 Fort Lauderdale, FL 37.2
8 Las Vegas, NV 37
9 Miami, FL 36.9
10 Albuquerque, NM 36.8

And, if that wasn't enough, real live celebrities are in town right now as I type this. Yesterday, there were photos of Brad Pitt riding his bike down one of the local streets. Today, there's pix of Angelina Jolie walking the kids around the French Quarter.

It ain't that bad living the Big Easy life, I guess
