There's a local success story by the fellow that has "The El Paso Chile Company." Thru hard work and long hours, Park Kerr grew the company into a huge operation.

Last year I heard he was living on the top floor of the Camino Real Hotel just around the corner from the Plaza Hotel (which is currently closed). That was some dream of mine when I was much younger - to live on the top floor of a large hotel. It always had a certain charm about it... having access to the restaurant and the pool and the action of the city your were in. But when we're young dreams don't have a cost.
