For Baltimore can you come up with any more??? I guess David Simon counts didn't think of him. There is Barbara Mikulski and Nancy Pelosi but those names make me want to puke. Elsewhere in Maryland we do have Harriet Tubman, Michael Steele, and Frederick Douglass.
My personal favorite celebrities from here are Michael Phelps, Babe Ruth, and Tom Clancy (my favorite author). We get to claim the most accomplished athlete in the history of the Olympics!!! I'm sure when he returns there will be a major celebration and fireworks in his honor like after Beijing. The really cool thing is I have a friend who used to swim in the same pool as him in the suburbs, another friend who cleaned his house once (he wasn't home) and another friend who waited on him at Cheesecake Factory. AND two more friends who attended a party that Michael Phelps hosted.

1. Barack Obama
2. Michelle Obama
3. Sasha Obama
4. Jeremiah Wright
5. Bill Ayers
6 Louis Farrakhan
7. Kanye West
9. Rahm Emanuel (Obama's slavish lapdog who wanted to ban Chick fil A from Chicago)
10. Malia Obama
Wow, I thought the purpose of the thread was to pare down to a solid ten people, not list every notable person who was either born or lived in your town.
Well said.
