Quick hello to the #MeetInTheMiddle community. Thought I’d share this image of the beautiful Gateway Arch along the Mississippi River. As an alumna of Washington University in St. Louis, you’d think I would have taken the tram ride to the top by now. Alas, acrophobia plus claustrophobia have kept me away from this adventure. Still, I highly recommend you watch this 4:38 clip showing exactly how the two sides came together here, to create my favorite monument in the whole wide world. (Viewer discretion is advised if you are afraid of heights.)
