Our Generations issue is here. In its pages, we explore design for all ages, from actually nice kids toys to Chicago town houses that have stood the test of time to an affordable home worth growing old in.

Would love to be in the hive mind at Netflix as they decide which of their real estate shows start with "Buying" and which start with "Selling." First it was alliterative; now it seems totally random
