 A good friend and neighbor put together this video, volunteering his slide show & musical talents.  Living anywhere has it's trials and tribulations, but those of us who call Pigtown home love it and are trying to get more people to invest in the neighborhood.   Pigtown continues to attract fun, lively, diverse people to the area.  No matter your culture or background, you are not alone, and you are welcome in Pigtown.  Want to know more about living or buying in Washington Village/ Pigtown?  Watch below.

It's no secret that Pigtown is in a food desert.  This term means that there is no immediate access to affordable, healthy foods within a reasonable travel distance.  In fact, The Afro covered this issue in their article "Washington Village/Pigtown Struggles to Provide Healthy Food Options" back in December of 2010.
