In my vast and interesting travels, I have discovered that this word can be spelled two ways: Chile and Chili. I think it depends from which side of the border you prefer. Still no one has named that little Chili Parlor on Pine but someone came close with a Parlor at 814 Pine, but named it an O.T. Hodges Parlor. Here is another fact that goes with the Chili: Prohibition ended, Dec 5, 1932 and to commemorate its demise, Anhueser Busch placed its first Clydesdale horses on the street April 7, 1933. This single act of kindness rid St Louis of a huge amount of heartburn.----Jim
