What these young kids might not realize yet is that long after we’ve mastered basic literacy, there are more kinds of literacy we need to develop. This September, I’m exploring literacy through the lens of real estate.

Since we have older homes in Cambridge, Somerville, and beyond, what is the best type of cooling system for you?
