LEATHER DISTRICT—We told you this morning about how the entire downtown Boston condo market fared in 2011 (well, but not too well). Some neighborhoods did way better than others: The median sales price in the Leather District, for instance, was up 55 percent annually; in the South End, it was up only 1 percent. Snap. [Boston.com]

BOSTON—Quite. We're the fifth most literarate city in the nation, according to Central Connecticut State's new survey. Somehow, we finished just behind Atlanta and had to edge out Pittsburgh: "[The survey] focuses on six key indicators of literacy: newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and Internet resources."
