Been living in the inner city for about 15 years. The first 22 years of my life I never heard a gun fired in real life. The last 15 it's about once every three weeks. All times of day or night. It's not a reason to fear this place; it's our cry for help.

@Luimatic 100% you can’t actually report illegal dumping on your property without it triggering a response from the city.

I think if you’re willing to file a police report for illegal dumping you should be allowed a free self help center visit.

New chapter from the book Bad Neighborhoods is available via the Bad Neighborhoods podcast feed. Today’s chapter talks about the emotional and mental impacts living in an area of concentrated poverty has on my neighbors. open.spotify.com/episode/0wRfvw…

Every Monday and Thursday a new Chapter from my book, Bad Neighborhoods, will be available via the podcast feed with the same name. It’s an attempt to write a new story about the inner city and push back on the current narrative. open.spotify.com/episode/4FzfGW…

@MrMarino101 @SoMilwSchools @SoMilwHS That’s badass. I bet you’re crushing it over there.

My journalism students were eager to wrestle with real-world questions and issues using text evidence related to the first amendment and the media! Socratic seminars amp up engagement!

Paczki Day!!!

the misguided story that we tell ourselves about areas of concentrated poverty. Pretty proud of myself for sticking with it. A lot of early mornings and stops at the coffee shop.

on the audio book version that will be available on our podcast feed while I edit the rest of it down to an actual physical copy. The book is what I've learned about race and poverty from living in the inner city. We talk a lot about housing, education, and

30 weeks ago I googled how long a book should be. Google told me 75,000 words. I figured if I did 2,500 a week I'd hit that by February. Today I wrote the 75,000th word. Meg and I have a book retreat weekend scheduled in a couple of weeks and then we'll start production

The 53206 Cast, the podcast @meganme and I do, just passed 10,000 downloads. Super lucky to be able to do that with her. If you’re interested in telling a different story about the inner city, check it out.

I really liked the woman who died this morning. This house is right next to the new We Got This garden and we’d talk about plants and gardening. Milwaukee Firefighters battle deadly fire in bitter cold temperatures wisn.com/article/firefi…

Took the boy out driving.

@Luimatic Yeah, I feel like flip implies something it doesn’t have to.

I rehab and hold but we’re working on a flip. We’ve never done a flip. If there’s ever been a term that needed updating it would be flipping property. It just sounds careless.

My buddy Alan and I just wrapped up this bathroom remodel.

Started working on the White House on the corner. The marks in the top of the cabinet are bullet holes from Christmas Eve morning last year.

Great quote from that app that reminds me we all die someday.
