A to Z Gateway City to the West

This is a unique book compare and contrast city of St Louis change over the years. It is the gateway to the West and was once the railway crossroad major center. It covers the neighborhood, especially the downtown area. The Gateway Arch is a major anchor with the recent improvement on the museum and the display of the history. Tourists can ride the tram to the top of Arch and have a good view of the area on a sunny day. Out of the seven water towers in the country, three of them in St Louis. It is a enjoyable journey to visit on a time machine documentary.
