Best Places for the Rich and Single? Laguna Beach, Of Course ...

Laguna Beach just landed on another one of those lists that masquerade as articles.

And this one is decidedly sexier than most: CNN/Money's list of top 25 places for the rich and single. Laguna Beach landed at a paltry #21 on the list, below such top towns as Concord, Mass., Manhattan Beach, Calif., and the #1 burg, University Park, Texas (huh?)

A description on the site doesn't reveal much as to why Laguna was chosen for this, um, honor, and the blurb gives no ground other than to state the all-too-obvious to most of us: there's art here, so you could "(M)eet a fellow patron at the Laguna Art Museum, which focuses on California artists. Aspiring creatives can drop in for workshops at the Laguna College of Art + Design. And for the truly bold, there's the Pageant of the Masters."

Hmmm. We've heard the Pageant of the Masters described in assorted adjectives over the years, but "bold" is certainly a first. Unless they really meant to equate boldness with navigating through Pageant traffic in the canyon on a Friday night ...
