This is the kind of Arch picture I used to post on this blog when I was merely middle aged. After a while, I thought I had exhausted the approach. But time passes, the well starts to run dry, and why not take another run at the idea. The thing is 630 feet / 192 meters of stainless steel in the shape of a perfect catenary arch. It opened to the public in June 1967. I showed up here for college two months later and promptly went for a look.

And I had left St. Louis in 63, so I didn't see the arch till 10 years later as a visitor! It is stunning, and has made itself well known as the St. Louis arch. Before that they just had...beer, baseball teams, a nice park and zoo...and and...you and me!
