I recently got to take a trip to St Louis for a localization conference. It was my first time in St Louis, and I was impressed. For the most part, it is a pretty clean city with some beautiful gardens and fountains everywhere. The conference was held on the campus of St Louis Univervisty, which has to be one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. I did got to the top of the Arch. The creep factor was pretty high. To get to the top, you climb into a little tiny pod with 5 other people and go to the top. It is part elevator, part carnival ride. The view was spectacular. The Mississippi River flows through the north end of the city, when I got there on Sunday night, the water level was still easily 20 feet away from the stop sign you see below.
