Meg and Alex are back in the sitting room talking about the only negative pushback they have ever gotten about living in the inner city. Gentrification is a big concern in urban planning circles and the duo has some thoughts about the potential for gentrifying the 53206 zip code. 

Meg and Alex share some big news about Ms. Maggie's house and give another example of why life is more exciting if you have an alley. 

Meg and Alex finish up their three part series on potential responses to the notion that they live in a bad neighborhood. In the conclusion the two talk about "bad" as wrong or not right and that maybe the bad actually means injustice is being perpetuated. 

Historically, 53206 has gotten a bit of a bad rap. In part 1, Meg and Alex talked about how their neighborhood not only isn't that bad, but actually really great. That was the first of three rebuttals the two have to offer when someone thinks of where they live as a bad neighborhood. In part 2, the duo gives the second rebuttal - maybe bad actually means something different. 

Meg and Alex talk about about the first of three rebuttals to someone thinking their neighborhood is "bad" - defending it. 53206 doesn't have a lot of cheerleaders and the two have a conversation around what they have seen and why their neighborhood not only isn't bad, but is actually really good. 

When we are around someone doing something wild or dangerous, a typical response is to be angry or afraid. Meg and Alex talk about crazy driving in the inner city of Milwaukee and offer another way of looking it - as a cry for help. 

Meg and Alex talk about some of the conversations they have had with their 7 and 9 year old children.

A rather unfortunate automotive predicament leads Alex and Meg into a discussion on how the same situation can be an inconvenience for one person and a life changing event for another. 

Over spring break in 2006 Meg and Alex went on a trip with 30 of their closest friends to Mississippi to gut houses and learn about what life is like in the inner city of Jackson. Little did they know that would be the catalyst for their decision to move into the 53206 zip code in the inner city of Milwaukee. 

Meg and Alex give an update on how virtual school is going for their kids in Milwaukee Public Schools and talk about how/why some of the people from the neighborhood won't be able to engage with learning in at the same level as their own kids.
