Flower shop in downtown KnoxvilleJust in time for Valentine's Day, Amazon.com is out with its list of the "Most Romantic Cities in America." Alexandria, Virginia tops the list followed closely by one of the places I've called home, Miami. Orlando, Gainesville and Tallahassee also made the top 20. Knoxville came in at #16 with Atlanta rounding out the list at #20. The Internet giant came up with the rankings based on the sale of romance novels, Barry White CDs and sexual wellness products between January 1st and the week before Valentine's Day. To be included on the list, cities had to have a population of 100,000 people...and apparently listen to a lot of Barry White. The complete list follows below. Disagree with Amazon.com's rankings?
