Being from the Lou and seeing this pretty much everyday it still impresses me. Lovely shot.

How long is it expected to last? Will people be blaming aliens for it in a thousand years?

I briefly lived in STL in the late 90s (I've got a thing for the arch). Went back recently for a biz trip (1st in 10 yrs)and was impressed.

When I was a kid, I thought people rode in a roller coaster car on the outside to get to the top.

Great photo. Is an amazing structure and WAY bigger than most people imagine.

Did you ride the little car inside to the very top? Is coooool.

So claustrophobic. And worth every cent.

My brain thinks this is hovering above the clouds and we're looking down at the ocean, which gives me anxiety and am planning how to hold on

How do they keep the fucker clean? Nano coating (to have it cleaned by rain) hasn't really been around back when they put it up, hasn't it?

Even as someone who sees it almost daily, it still blows my mind how they did it. So cool.

Was about to make a halo reference as well. Good thinking!

Fun fact the gateway arch is equal in height and width, even though it doesnt appear so to the naked eye.

I can believe it. Seeing how it's half a kinda-oval.

The shape is known as a catenary curve; y = k cosh(x/k)

Scrolled too far for Defiance reference.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yup, was I really the only person to like that show? same as Revolution, Terra Nova, Stargate Universe. The list goes on too far.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Terra Nova... now I'm sad! Did you have to mention it?!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Haha, it really was a good show. I don't know why it wasn't picked up

I have been there twice and I'm still amazed at the sheer height of it

9 years ago | Likes 33 Dislikes 1

Height is actually same as width for the arch

Is it all one piece of metal?

It was segmented when put together, but it's solid now. There's an elevator that runs to the top so tourists can look at the city

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

There's a super small creepy scary elevator*
