Some people also love to do stuff without their clothes on. You've heard of nudist beaches right? There are just people out there that would rather not be confined by linen or cotton.

Then, there are the people who want to do both, garden and not wear any clothes, and those naked gardeners are having a big moment.

According to the study, 'nude gardener friendliness,' 'local interest,' 'weather forecast,' and 'safety,' are the most important factors to create this list, along with the actual legality of public nudity and the number of local nudists.

So who took the top spot?

In the entire country, that goes to Miami, though Philadelphia comes in a close second.

As far as the Illinois rankings: Chicago came in 11th, Evanston is 13th, Elgin is 17th, my hometown of Schaumburg is 23rd and Arlington Heights is 25th.

Honestly I don't want to garden or be naked in public, so I'll sit this one out.
