The ranking is based on seven categories: coolness, cost of living alone, culture, job growth, online dating participation, nightlife and the ratio of singles to the entire population of the area. |

Back to Nature.
Kathy and Don Wallis could never have built their dream home 200 years ago in Land's End on Comachee Island - and it has nothing to do with the fact they weren't alive at the time.

Major League Baseball brings its romance, controversies and corporate wars to Florida later this month - pitchers and catchers report to camp starting February 17. It will bypass Jacksonville as it has for the last 88 seasons. |
