Let's zoom out and look at an overview to see where we are.  Accross the river from Porky's is fisherman's row.

The first structure in fisherman's row is the bait shop.

I assume the brick walls for Porky's Place are casts of the "Trains of Texas" brick walls I believe George used for many of the brick structures.  If not, what did he use for these?  Are the corner "stones" just pieces of painted paper?  A really cool looking structure.

All very good questions -I have added them to my list for my next phone call to George.  I know that the streets in Franklin are Trains of Texas castings.
