The Gateway Arch reopened last week, after three years of renovation. We took the kids today. It’s been a loooong time since I’ve been down there. It really is a spectacular monument.
They put in a beautiful new entrance to a totally new museum.
I still like to stand at the edge and look up.
We went up in the tram to look over St. Louis. I am always so struck by the absence of anything in the distance. Where I live there is always a mountain range in the background. Here it’s just the horizon line.
The freeway used to cut between the Arch and the Courthouse. Now it dips below a beautiful new concourse.
It’s a stunning monument to be sure.
I have never been there. You expanded my horizons. Thank you for sharing the wonderful pictures!!!! So glad your children will have these wonderful memories!!!
Oh wow – I love that they moved the freeway below the concourse. That makes so much more sense for all of the foot traffic. Gorgeous! It’s such a beautiful monument and area.
