Tony Hawk, Skateboarder Extraordinaire, Buys A House In Detroit

Whether it’s seeing Jack White out and about, or a glimpse of Eminem, or stopping into Wahlburger to catch a glimpse of Mark Wahlberg, judging the the reaction online most of us can’t get enough. Here’s the latest entry in Detroit celebrity watching.

Tony Hawk – whose wife is from Michigan – just bought a house in the Woodbrige Neighborhood of Detroit. Curbed says it’s from 1900, and the Freep says that it’s a three unit house, with two of the units up for rental (There’d be a set of Airbnb travelers would be all over that – and Airbnb is a growing thing in the D).

Back in 2013, Hawk gave $30,000 to a skatepark at Davison and Klinger in Detroit.
