There are alternatives for those who are single, or just hate the whole cards-and-candy routine.
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, people fall into two groups: The lovesick, and those who are, well, sick of the whole thing. Maybe you’re romantically challenged and would rather not be reminded of it. Or, maybe, you’re one of those people who thinks the self-determined Day of Romance has devolved into so much over-the-top pomp and circumstance. Regardless, there are plenty of you out there. The good news: If this year’s V-Day will be a decidedly solo affair, Golden Valley Patch has put together a list of alternatives for you on what’s become one of our country’s most commercialized holidays: 1.

It’s nearly the 14th of February and Eternal Love approacheth on gossamer wings gilded by advertising dollars. To help you and your beloved celebrate, and to ensure that you need not actually make conversation, Patch has prepared a short list of movie recommendations starring actors and actresses born in the land by the shores of Gitche Gumee. Background: In 1999, then-21-year-old St. Paulite Josh Hartnett’s surname was not yet synonymous with heartthrob. The actor was fresh off his much-lauded role in The Faculty when he was cast in "The Virgin Suicides," Sofia Coppola’s adaptation of a Jeffrey Eugenides novel. The plot centers around the five Lisbon sisters, ethereal blondes stifled by their parents’ conservative approach to child …

The King's Players, a children's theater group in Golden Valley, will perform "The Quatanius Connection" this weekend.
A cast of 28 children is getting ready to take the stage this weekend. The King’s Players Children’s Theatre will perform “The Quatanius Connection,” a musical with an energetic cast, crazy costumes and songs from the 50s through the 80s. “The show is about a rock star that has been abducted by aliens and is gone for 30 years,” Theater Director Kathy Boecher said. “When the main character returns to earth everything is different, including music.” Boecher, who has worked in theater for three decades, wrote the unique plot. “I don’t know where I come up with these ideas,” she chuckled. “I guess I have strange dreams and they lend themselves to creative shows.” The King's Players, which is operated out of King of Grace Lutheran Church, put …
