Hi there!

I guess I shouldn't have said that. I'm not in Arkansas.
Close though. I'm in the Ozarks.

I am in Bella Vista which is far NW Arkansas

Another Ozarkian here, north of the border close to Fort Leonard Wood.

I went to school in your area. I spent a couple of years in Rolla.

I was doing a search for "Billy's Chili Springfield Missouri" on Google and this thread came up. I am so glad to find anything on the web about it that I had to sign up to these forums to let you know that I remember and loved Billy's Chili. I liked the location a lot. I was just a kid when my parents took me there a few times. I remember the hanging airplanes made out of Coke cans. I remember the food being really really good. My parents went to SMSU when they were in their 30's and it was a really great time to get to be alive in Springfield Missouri in the late 80's and early 90's. I am actually compiling my thoughts and memories about that time and place for a possible project or book on the subject.

I am so glad there are people out there who lament the loss of such a fine Springfield establishment.

p.s. And yes, it will always be SMSU to me.
