Do you really know what street you live on?

Mt. Carmel City Commissioners this week changed the names of two roadways in the city, an attempt to match names that citizens - and local governments - have apparently been using for years.

City Attorney Tom Price brought the item to the table during Monday's regular city meeting, presenting documents prepared to change the names of two streets in the Wolf Subdivision to fit common practice.

One of those streets was Forio... no, Forio Drive... no, Forio Avenue... according to local officials, residents have been using all three references.

City Inspector Don Price said about 19 residents live on that road, about half of which list their addresses as Forio Avenue. Others use Forio Drive, and the rest just live on Forio.

The city on Monday named the street Forio Avenue.

Then there's Chandler Drive.

Woops. Make that Candler Drive.

According to City Attorney Price, the plat clearly shows the road commonly-known as Chandler is actually Candler - despite what the street signs say.

Avoiding the need for readdressing and new street signs, the Council agreed to change the name to Chandler Drive.

City Engineer Dave Dallas offered the story behind the spelling enigma Monday.

Mt. Carmel history has long associated the family name 'Wolf' with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Mt. Carmel, which saw successes in the first half of the 20th century.

City Inspector Price told the Register he can recall the company being run by brothers Frank and Ray Wolf. He said the business used to operate where Kelly-O's Pizza now sits on Market Street, and they parked their trucks where Mideast Supply is today.

The Mt. Carmel Area Sesquicentennial states the company opened its "ultra-modern" building on outer West 9th St. in 1956.

So, as a tribute to Coca-Cola originators, streets in the Wolf Subdivision were named after Forio and Candler, Dallas told city commissioners.

Asa Griggs Candler purchased the Coca-Cola Company over a period of three years - 1888-1891 - for about $2,300, that according to Coca-Cola's Web site. He's known as the company's first president.

Where Chandler apparently takes stage, is when the city first ordered street signs for the new road. Dallas said it was his understanding the sign company assumed 'Candler' was a misspelling. "The company said 'that can't be right. It must be Chandler,'" he said, grinning. And the new name stuck.

Wolf Subdivison, by the way, sat outside city limits when it was constructed, Inspector Price pointed out.
