gateway to the west

thin slicing


Come to find out there's a reason the St. Louis Arch is so famous -- and here all along I just figured it had a good publicist.

No: it's more than that. It's freakin' cool. Proto-Gehryesque, soaring stainless and pitch perfect into the sky.

Many thanks to B1-67er who suggested (in true b1- style -- which is to say, more firm direction than suggestion) that I NOT miss it while I was town.

And so I didn't.

Pics provided for your amusement in two flavors: slide show or thumbnails.

depth depends on your p.o.v.

Last night I stopped to snap a shot near the stage entrance of the Orpheum Theatre in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. A guy stepped out, waited until I was done and asked, "are you performing?" with a big broad smile, gesturing me through the open door.

At first I was flattered, shaking my head shyly "no" -- then it occurred to me it could have been *any* kind of show.
