Gateway Arch

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 12:38 AM

I'm ashamed to say that as a St. Louisian, I had never been up to the top of the Arch. Until today, that is. It was great. The view was perfect — I'll have to post some photos, maybe I'll do that tomorrow. The view of Busch stadium was particularly stunning, since it was filled with fans in red and set against a bright blue sky.

The arch is a spectacular monument, I've always enjoyed seeing it — it just seemed like the scheduling never worked out for going up it. I'm glad it did this time!

Just noticed that Christopher at WIT has announced you as the blog of the month, so I thought I’d say congratulations :) Consider it done :)

Yea! You finally went up in the Arch! It is fun. Seems like I posted about that a while back.

Flip: Thanks! :-)

Christopher: Yeah, I think you did… I can’t remember if I mentioned my record of no trips up the arch on the post or not. But finally, I don’t have to worry about that any more!
