Ann Arbor Tops List of ‘10 Best Cities for Single People’
It's true. Ann Arbor beat out big cities such as New York, Baltimore, Los Angeles and Philadelphia to take the top spot on Kiplinger's list for the 'Best Cities for Single People.'

Apparently, one in four people is between the ages 20 and 34, and one in two is married. There you have it! If you're looking for love, the odds are pretty good that you'd find it in Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor’s Cara Rosaen Speaks for ‘Real Time Farms’ at TEDxMANHATTAN
Cara Rosaen, an Ann Arbor native and one of the co-founders of Real Time Farms, was recently invited to particiate in the TEDxMANHATTAN talk. Just in case you were wondering, Real Time Farms is a crowd-sourced online food guide. They provide you one location where you can learn about where your food comes from, so you can find food you feel great about eating. She talked about the Grange Kitchen & Bar, Jolly Pumpkin , and Zingerman's Roadhouse as being some of the first restaurants that they worked with to reveal their 'transparent menus.' She also mentions Tantre Farms in Chelsea as one of the first farms to join the program as well.
And TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
