"Fire shuts Spiro's Chesterfield restaurant"
By Harry Levins

02/02/2007


An early-morning fire severely damaged the interior of Spiro's Restaurant in
Chesterfield today.

Nobody from the Monarch Fire Protection District was available to give
details. But the Chesterfield Police Department said it had got a call about
the fire at 12:37 a.m.

The restaurant is at 1054 North Woods Mill Road (MIssouri Highway 141), just
south of Olive Boulevard.

Owner Harry Karagiannis told KTVI-TV [2, Fox] early this morning that he
would repair the restaurant and reopen as soon as possible. The building is
said to have suffered heavily from water damage on the interior.

Meanwhile, Karagiannis said, reservations will be honored at another
Spiro's, at 2275 Bluestone Drive in St. Charles.

The family has been in the restaurant business here since 1974, having
operated under the Spiro's name at 8406 Natural Bridge Road in north St.
Louis County and 3122 Watson Road in St. Louis in addition to the
Chesterfield and St. Charles locales.

The family came to St. Louis in 1957 from the Epirus region of northwestern
Greece.

a bunch of off topic crap

You know, "A", it would be nice if you put (OT) in the subject header
when the uninteresting (to most) stuff you post is NOT an obituary. Is
that too much to ask?

What happened to you new year's resolution? Do you give up that easily?

It depends on whether the item correlates to something 'dead',
even though a restaurant isn't a living thing. It was shut down, so it is
at least a temporary 'death'.
I could have posted the Subject this way:

"Dead temporarily: Spiro's Restaurant (fire)"

Would that have been ok with you?

What happened to you new year's resolution? Do you give up that easily?

No, sometimes I just forget to put that 'OT', and sometimes I
think it isn't necessary.

Hey anything you do is ok with me. I'm just trying to keep up my filters
so that I don't see off topic posts and the OT designation would be a
nice courtesy. I realize you can't make people be courteous. We live in
a world full of jerks who don't care how their actions affect others. Be
courteous if you want or be a jerk. I'll work around that.
