Even if you don't like professional skateboarding, you definitely know the name Tony Hawk.

Whether you know the name from his numerous video games or the fact that he is arguably the greatest skateboarder to grace four wheels, Tony Hawk is a big deal.

And he's coming to town.

According to Jim Tumey's Instagram page, he sold a "castle" to Hawk and his family.

clickondetroit.com is reporting the house is in Detroit's Woodbridge neighborhood.

Hawk, a San Diego native, posted a photo driving past 8 Mile on his Instagram account. What would bring a sun-loving Californian to the Motor City? We're not sure yet.

Do you think this is a sign that more celebrities will be moving to Detroit?
