Charlotte in the Top 25

That's right party people. According to Forbes magazines' sixth annual Best Cities for Singles, Charlotte ranked #25. We were No. 33 last year.The rankings were based on nightlife, culture, job growth, number of other singles, cost of living alone, online dating and coolness.

Heck, according to that criteria I see why we got good marks. Charlotte always looks good on paper, but let's be real. I know way too many singles who think Charlotte is better for families than swinging singles. BTW, Raleigh is No. 6 right below New York. Dag.

What do you think? Should we be No. 25? Should we be higher or lower? And what does Raleigh have that we don't - the Hurricanes?
