Getting ready for St. Patrick's Day? SmartMoney magazine has a light-hearted look at what some items for the big celebration will cost in five U.S. cities.
A copy of ``Irish Heartbeat,'' the CD by Van Morrison and The Chieftains, runs from $14.99 in Tulsa, Okla., to $16.99 in Virginia Beach, Va. A six-pack of Guinness stout ranges from $7.29 in Omaha, Neb., to $12.50 in Pittsburgh. A one-hour lesson in step dancing, the style of dance seen in the show ``Riverdance,'' ranges from $5 in Omaha and Pittsburgh to $70 in Boston.
