I like the view as well. However, I notice that photos of dowtown and the Arch are taken from ground level on the east side, they don’t do justice to the skyline. The reason is that the ground level is so much lower than the street levels downtown. I suggest that if a picture or video is to be taken, it should be from a tower or a helicopter slightly above the street levels of downtown.

One more point. I am a native St. Louisan, grew up at Delmar and Kingshighway. I now live in Dallas. In the Dallas Morning News this morning it talked about the new bridge over the Trinity River (?). I use the question mark because, compared to the Mississippi, it’s a stream. The new bridge is beautiful and soars over the river with an arch … smaller but a close relative to another Arch. Dallas media has commented a number of times how Dallas needs an iconic emblem similar to St. Louis’ Arch. I think you’ll see more and more of their arch in the future. In addition, the article spoke of the lighting that is being installed to highlight the bridge and how it matches the 7 or 8 skyscrapers that are lighted in different colors and hues, including a spectacular “light show” that covers the new convention hotel. Why doesn’t St. Louis emphasize their archetecture in this way. A couple of years ago, I sent in a suggestion that no one acknowledged that the Eads bridge is too beautiful and historic to be used as a means to get to and from the east side. I wondered why it couldn’t be lighted from one end to the other and turned into a St. Louis “Pontevecchio” like the one in Florence, Italy with shops, restaurants, and show venues. What a spectacular view FROM St. Louis and FROM the east side. Come on guys! Let’s think outside the box.

St. Louis has a great skyline and even though I have seen if from a number of vantage points including the 360, Laclede Building, and the Civic Courts building, NOTHING compares to driving into the City from the east as darkness falls. St. Charles and St. Louis County…eat your heart out!

I agree the skyline looks best from the eastern approach. The Gateway Arch is as good as it gets as a “welcome” symbol sign. This is one of the reasons why the region needs to rally around downtown St. Louis. Imagine the excitement of seeing it from miles away then arriving to a rebounding yet lackluster downtown. More investment is needed in the Chouteau Arts District, Lacledes Landing, Market St., ballpark area, Civic Center and along Olive and Locust serious streetscape is needed. While its good to see fresh vantage points….lets make them more beautiful.
