MA Best Zip Codes
Did you see the Globe Magazine on Sunday? They had this special feature on housing, real estate, etc. One article in particular summarized their choices for the top 25 zip codes to live in Massachusetts.
Best part of the article?
Franklin's zip code was NOT in the top 25!
Do you think some folks will stay away?
We only want businesses to come here. Not families with kids!
