As a native Rochesterian, I have to inform you that the name of that town
is "Chili", not "Chilie" as it showed up here on lzmi.  That, however, is
not the worst of the strange pronunciations to come from that town.  I
always favor the suburb of Rochester known as "Charlotte", pronounced
"schlott".

P.S. By the way, any native will tell you that Rochester is pronounced
     as two syllables, leaving out the middle one.
