Some say love, it is a night in.
In Lincoln, it seems that plenty of people do -- so many, in fact, that when it comes to renting romance titles from the get-it-and-go Redbox DVD kiosks that dot the city, we’re almost as romantic as Lake Charles, Louisiana.
This is according to Redbox, which released its annual findings that rank the “Most Romantic Cities in America†based on how frequently its inhabitants rented “The Wedding Ringer†and similar couple-y flicks.
And Lincoln finished second in the country, behind two cities. (Columbus, Mississippi, somehow tied for the top spot with Lake Charles.)
The survey is based on the proportion of romantic-themed movie rentals to other genres in each city. It doesn’t necessarily mean that Lincoln rented “Trainwreck†25,007 times compared to No. 6 Chico, California’s 23,003. It means that, when people went to the found in 22 locations around the city, they rented that  more frequently than people did in most other places.
