The personal finance social network WalletHub conducted an analysis of 2014’s best and worst

The personal finance social network WalletHub conducted an analysis of 2014’s best and worst cities for singles. To help singles find the right partner while saving money, WalletHub ranked the 150 most populated U.S. cities across 25 key metrics, including the percentage of singles, the number of nightlife opportunities per capita and mobile dating opportunities. Youngstown was not included on the list. Pittsburgh was 18, Akron 111, Cleveland 119, and Yonkers, NY, was dead last. Here are the top five:

v Boise, Idaho: The city ranked eighth in “economics of dating.” Must have something to do with all those potatoes.

v Madison, Wis.: Ranked third in “romance and fun.” Go, Badgers.

v Denver: You can legally buy marijuana in the Mile-High City, but that had nothing to do with it.

v Austin, Texas: The hippest city in the heart of Texas.

v Lincoln, Neb.: The Cornhusker city ranked No. 1 in “economics of dating.”

“One Direction: THE TV SPECIAL” (8 P.M., NBC): Don’t be alarmed. Those high-pitched screams you hear being emitted by teen girls are for “One Direction: The TV Special.” It features backstage footage from the band’s concert tour and follows the blokes as they recorded their new album.

“The Year: 2014” (9 P.M., ABC): “The Year: 2014” has host Robin Roberts reviewing some of the biggest stories of the past 12 months, including the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, the Ebola virus and the fight against the Islamic State group.

“Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” 9 p.m., Food: Host Guy Fieri eats a pancake that looks like him.

Pittsburgh mayor goes ‘Undercover’

PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh’s mayor has gone undercover for a reality show. A disguised Bill Peduto appeared on Sunday’s episode of the CBS series “Undercover Boss,” collecting trash, sawing down trees and helping build a door.

The first-term Democrat donned a wig and beard to blend in as Ed Chadwick from Kentucky.

It didn’t work on everyone. One worker saw through the 50-year-old Peduto’s “Duck Dynasty”-style costume and lack of chain saw skills.

Corporate donations enabled Peduto to follow another show tradition: bettering employees’ lives. He offered tuition and housing payments and promotions.

Colts owner helps Kerouac group

LOWELL, Mass.

The owner of the Indianapolis Colts has ponied up $10,000 for a Massachusetts organization that keeps Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac’s legacy alive. James Irsay’s donation is the largest single pledge in the history of the Lowell Celebrates Kerouac Committee.

Treasurer Steve Edington says the organization reached out to Irsay knowing he’s huge Kerouac fan. Irsay paid $2.4 million for Kerouac’s original “On the Road” manuscript in 2001, and in 2007 allowed it to be displayed in Lowell, Kerouac’s hometown.

The Kerouac committee holds a program around Kerouac’s March 12 birth date, and a festival every October.
