St. Louis: More than just an arch
St. Louis, a beautiful city situated along the Mississippi River, is an eclectic blend of big-city expansion and Southern charm. The people are generous hosts, and its peaceful surroundings are a bed of relaxation. The quaint city also is home to the St. Louis Gateway Arch, a 630-foot monument you can see from 20 miles outside the city. The structure greets out-of-towners as it shimmers over downtown. The Arch sits on the river, providing a cool hideout in the city. At any given moment, you can find people hanging out on the steps and riding the tram to the top. Seth Berkowitz, a resident of St. Louis, said the Arch is a great spot to visit. "I would definitely say people should hit up the landmarks and visit the Arch and the arch museums during the day," he said.
