St. Louis Overview
St. Louis is a major city in Missouri along the Mississippi River.
Its iconic, 630-ft. Gateway Arch, built in the 1960s, honors the early
19th-century explorations of Lewis and Clark and America's westward
expansion in general. Replica paddlewheelers ply the river, offering
views of the arch. The Soulard district is home to barbecue restaurants
and clubs playing blues music.
