The most romantic state? Michigan

The Detroit Free Press reports:
Something tells us this might come as a shock to the rest of the country, but Michigan is the most romantic state in the nation.

So says Redbox, whose research shows residents in Michigan watched more romantic movies in 2014 than any other state, based on the titles rented across the company's 35,000 self-service DVD kiosks. Wisconsin was ranked as the second most romantic state.

Green Bay, Wis., is the most romantic city. Theories, anyone? Is it the big, cheesy hearts? What the Green Bay Packers have taught folks about unwavering love? The long winters?

The rest of the top 10 most romantic cities, according to the survey: Evansville, Ind. (No. 2); Lansing, Mich. (3); Mankato, Minn. (4); Zanesville, Ohio; (5), Ames, Iowa (6); Rochester, Minn. (7); Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo, Mich. (8); Toledo, Ohio (9); and Lima, Ohio (10).
