Michael Phelps Moving to Baltimore City
Michael Phelps will be Baltimore City’s newest resident when he returns home from the Beijing Olympics.? Reportedly, Michael has purchased a 3000 sf home in the city’s Fells Point neighborhood.? Pundits joked that it? would hopefully be enough room to hold all of his medals (I suspect it will be).?
Why is this important to Baltimoregrows?? It’s because Phelps LOVES Baltimore.? He loves its people, its places, and all of the things to do.? Phelps represents a new generation of Baltimoreans and can see the positives from the negatives.? While so many Baltimoreans tend to look at the negatives, Phelps looks at the bright side of things.? He’s a great role model and will become a great cheerleader for the city…especially as more people his age continue to move in.? And…it’ll also be pretty cool if you run into him out at the bars.

It was great to hear him talking about being so anxious to move back to Baltimore. I’m sure he’ll be an honoree attendee a the first Ravens game. Seems like one of the biggest thrills of the whole Olympics for him was hearing that the last race was being shown live on the jumbo screen after the Ravens preseason game.
Any word on what building he is buying in? I would guess that new waterfront building that faces Canton. Near Red Star.
