Ohio locations aren't making the grade
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ohio cities don't fare well on recent lists of most romantic places.

The kiosk-movie-rental company determined its most romantic cities list based on rentals of romance and romantic comedy movies. The cities renting the most in those genres last year: 1.

Earth’s core is the source of the very important but poorly understood magnetic field that surrounds the planet and extends outward.
