Reckless speculation? Yep. Even less surprising is the wreck. The traffic signals on Calvert Street (as well a the ass-end of the traffic galaxy, MLK Boulevard) act as if they were were manually operated by epileptics.

Your tipster doesn't know a whole lot about Baltimore. The transgendered prostitutes hang out at least a mile north of where he had his accident. That area of Calvert St. is full of million dollar mansions and expensive apartments.

North of North Avenue is a different story--but that isn't where he was. The two block section around Eager has a yuppie thin crust pizza joint, the Belvedere Hotel (see it on Mad Men Sunday), and The Prime Rib, a classy 4 star restaurant.

Your tipster is an idiot.

Note it is confirmed that he was with his girlfriend at the time, and the neighborhood he was in is actually one of the most prestigious in Baltimore, with million dollar Victorian mansions built by bluebloods of the era. Just look at the houses in the background in the photos.

To answer the question about "The 83", that's a variation of what locals call it, "The JFX", or The Jones Falls Expressway, which later also became I-83.

Dude, you have to pass through the tranny hooker district if you want to get to the glory hole parish. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

But was he wearing that suit while driving around "lost"? Because knowing that will clear this whole thing right up.

I can't let tranny-based aggression stand! I live right there, stepped out my front door and saw the flashing lights two blocks north, on Calvert. The tranny stuff happens four or so blocks away. May not sound like much, but it's a big difference. It's a whole different neighborhood there, with not much foot traffic between the two. Not that I'm paying close attention to tranny business, or anything. Also, this is part of what makes Baltimore grand.

Dumb story, but I do like the picture. It's like he's starring in a Goth porn production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

OMG I'm so proud - I broke the michael phelps tranny hooker story !!! so can I have my old screen name back now, PLEASE, and not just the adulterated version ???

seriously tho, jconli1 is right - calvert is one of the better ways out of downtown, so michael was prolly just looking for the best way out of the harbor area w/o having to take the 83 or cut thru a neighborhood known for gunfire - but I still like to imagine him at least slowing down to take a loving look at 'the girls with something extra' standing out in front of the 7-11 in their cheap lingerie - I know, for me, the tranny hookers were maybe the best thing about baltimore (hey, at least they took some care of themselves, not like the white trash welfare hookers with their scraped up knees over in hamden, man let me tell you my 'hookers with leg injuries of baltimore' story sometime, it'll make you lose your will to live just as sure as it made me leave the arts and RUN back to california) - every day, when I would leave my apartment at 932 calvert? I felt like I should stand on my top stoop and yell "LIVE !!! FROM THE HEART OF THE TRANNY HOOKER DISTRICT IN *LOVELY* DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE !!!" - that is until I realized living in my own personal existential crisis was only going to be just SO entertaining

oh and baltimore, if you're reading this? I know you like your "believe in baltimore" campaign and all? but I still think you should replace it with something more realistic - something like "BALTIMORE - now misery has a new playground" or "BALTIMORE - at least it's not calcutta". you know, try to keep it achievable.

First off, about 47% of Baltimore is a tranny hooker district. Second, N. Calvert is a multi-lane one-way thoroughfare that any local knows is an easy way out of downtown. This story is so very lame.

Wow, that is too much Phelps in that picture. Or maybe too little. I'm hoping for his sake it was cold wherever that photo was taken.

Oh, and how lovely that a road named Eager runs through any kind of hooker territory.

@CountFosco: It looks like there's only like 3 inches there but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that the rest is hidden by the rest of his package or the suit itself. I was thinking maybe the whole package was sort of lifted and tucked for streamlining. (Maybe the tranny theme put that thought into my head.)
Also, the odd proportions of the Phelps torso confuse me further.

@They Shoot Journalists, Don't They?: I was just thinking that that suit makes him look as if he has big thighs, in a dumpy, slightly overweight sort of way.

@Speak: Sweet mercy, are you people hatin' on his body? He has the build of an Adonis, the rod of a Praxiteles statue and the aquatic skills of a dolphin. The problem areas we should be focusing on are a) his intellect; b) his face; c) his uncontrollable rage when someone defeats him.
