THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO MARKET!

Picture taken from City poster, outside Pigtown festival,

But this little piggy stayed at home. Why?  Maybe one was white, the other black. Discrimination on the part of the farmer? Just a joke.

In Baltimore Maryland, there is a subdivision known as Pigtown. This section of Baltimore in the past was filled with slaughterhouses. Pigs came into town by the railroad B&O. The less educated worked in these houses, mainly whites from Appalachia, West Virginia, and blacks who could not find work elsewhere.

Over the past 40 years, PIGTOWN has undergone a transformation, more so with Caesar’s building a casino on the main drive, and in walking distance to Ravens Football stadium, and the Orioles baseball at Camden yards.

This October I was determined to witness the Annual PIGTOWN FESTIVAL.
