The Hill
So there's a part of St. Louis called the hill. It's where all the Italians live. I know this because the street signs say, "The Hill" with an Italian flag on it. My only question is that where does the hill start? There isn't really a hill so I can't figure out why it is called that and where the geographic location starts. There's a commercial on TV that says this car place is, "right at the enterance to the hill." I just don't get it.

Maybe it's actually a city with real city limits. Then there could be an entrance (even if its name doesn't make sense).
I thought that might be the case, but no, it isn't. All the neighborhoods around St. Louis have different names, Shaw, Southtown, The Hill, etc. They have a lot of pride in their neighborhoods too because each one has different street signs. Then there are actually other cities that make up the St. Louis metro area. As far as I can tell, The Hill residents still have a St. Louis address. So the entrance thing is still a mystery.
