Hard to tell if my specific area is 7 or 6a (or maybe neither of those) I live in Mission Hill, MA & I
don’t see Mission Hill on the list…I am up the hill, on ELDORA Street, which is between Longwood Medical area & Jamaica Plain. It is about 3/4 of the way up the hill, which begins at Huntington Ave. What is the zone here, please? Thanks very much!
