The Blue Pig

On the Grid : The Blue Pig

"Driving east on Magnolia boulevard, you're bound to frequently spot the pickup truck stacked tall with swap meet goodies out front of Robert DeFrancesco's vintage and collectible shop the Blue Pig. Named after his favorite tavern in Cape May, New Jersey - Robert turned his lifelong passion for antiquing and picking into a store. He tries to bring in a little bit of everything but has a soft spot for old mechanical pieces. Nestled on the bottom shelf in the back of the store is the world's first pay phone. Drop one of each coin in, and you'll hear three different bell dings so that operators could tell how much you paid. The Blue Pig promises to educate and delight, give it a visit." - Jennifer Beatty
