"Good morning. Good morning," George Dumas says as he shuffles toward a cluster of tables at the back of the restaurant, near dueling window posters of a gigantic double cheeseburger and a behemoth honey mustard snack wrap. "All's quiet on the western front," Dumas announces, "except in Iraq." Actually, the noise level is pretty high inside this McDonald's on Powder Mill Road, hard by the Beltsville exit of Interstate 95. It's 8:30 a.m. and the bumblebee buzz of conversation is in full drone.

Most people from Pigtown have at least one nickname, some have two or three. There's Peanut and Little Bits; Peaches, Teeny and Dogman. Then there's William Edward Chambers. He's known as Bus, Mr. Bus, Shad, Shadbo and Sheriff, but when he slowly walks down the street whistling church hymns, many people who call out to him address him simply as the mayor. The mayor of Pigtown. Chambers knows the seven blocks he calls "my Pigtown" like he knows every note in those hymns. He knows the men on the corner, the tales, the tragedies, the two-story rowhouses, the alleyways, the clotheslines, the flowerpots, the trees and the shady front porches, from South Carey to Bush Street and from Washington Boulevard to Cleveland Street.
