Well, it's Valentine's Day and I better get out of my office soon, but first I have to post this blog entry I've been working on for the past week.
A local news station posted a story about Salt Lake City, Utah being on Amazon.com's Top 20 Most Romantic Cities. I bookmarked it, hoping to come back to it and find some good listings of romantic things to do in Salt Lake City that I could share with my readers, and from which I could possibly get some ideas myself.
When I get back to it I discover that while it is true that Amazon.com ranks SLC the 14th most romantic city in the U.S., the problem I see is that they base the rank on sales of romance novels. I question whether this tells me that SLC is really romantic... or perhaps it may actually be the 14th LEAST romantic city in the U.S.?
At any rate, having done a few "romantic" things in the area myself, I polled my local friends on facebook and see what suggestions they would offer.
Here are the results:

• Various Fine & Casual Dining Establishments
• Dinner in the JSM building
