Minnesota City Named One Of The Loneliest In The U.S.
This is sad news ahead of Valentine's Day! A new study has named the top ten loneliest cities ahead of the Hallmark holiday.
The good news is that Duluth wasn't even under consideration here - only the biggest fifty cities in the country were!
This study was done just ahead of the holiday, and sadly it's not good news for some Minnesota residents.
One Minnesota city made the top five, meaning they have some of the loneliest residents in the entire country.
