Michael Olesker Author

Michael Olesker has been writing for newspapers since he went to high school at Baltimore City College and imagined that nothing in the world could be more fun than meeting interesting people and writing about them. In the ensuing four decades, nothing has changed his mind. He began writing a column for The News American in 1976, and after three years moved to the Baltimore Sun. He is now a columnist for The Examiner in Baltimore. Mr. Olesker is the author of Michael Olesker's Baltimore: If You Live Here, You're Home and Journeys to the Heart of Baltimore, both published by Johns Hopkins.
