    That my friend is the grill of a Baltimore City Hook and Ladder truck. You'll notice it sez ''PigTown"
    Pig town is South Baltimore a good part of it.
    You see on the West side the steers were brought in by rail to slaughter . And further down the rails the pigs were brought in. To get the animals from the rail to the slaughter house they were herded through the streets.
    Thus the name.
    And yes I am from PigTown :)
    Google it you'll find quite a bit of history is in this 50 Acres of land.
