The Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri / / It was raining and extremely foggy, so this is the clearest shot I could get, but it just shows how high up it is to be enveloped by clouds. / / / / The Arch is the tallest national monument in the United States at 630 feet; it is the city’s best known landmark and a popular tourist attraction. / / Construction began February 12, 1963 and the last section of the Arch was put into place on October 28, 1965. / / The Arch is a structure known as a catenary curve, the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends, and considered the most structurally-sound arch shape. The span of the Arch legs at ground level is 630 feet, the same as its height. / / Each year, approximately a million visitors ride the trams to the top of the Arch. The trams have been in operation for over 30 years, traveling a total of 250,000 miles and carrying over 25 million passengers. / / The Arch weighs 17,246 tons. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history. / / The Arch was built at a cost of $13 million. The transportation system was built at a cost of $3,500,000. / / In order to ensure that the constructed legs would meet, the margin of error for failure was 1/64th of an inch. All survey work was done at night to eliminate distortion caused by the sun’s rays. Since the Arch was constructed before the advent of computer technology, relatively crude instruments were used for these measurements. / / The Arch sways a maximum of 18” (9” each way) in a 150 mph wind. The usual sway is 1/2”.

So, funny story: / / As i was taking this picture, just past the corner, there was a guy with his girlfriend walking towards me. I was trying to angle it so I wouldn’t get him in the shot, but he was insistent on pursuing my field of vision, so I had to keep shifting further around the corner from him. This took approximately 45 seconds to complete, so that by the end of it, the guy was absolutely convinced that I had been trying to get a shot of him (and/or his girl) and as I walked past, he scowled the ugliest look at me and flipped me the bird right before he jabbed his shoulder into mine. Then he turned to look at the corner where I might have been interested in something other than him, saw the little doodle, and covered his mouth while his eyes got real big. I just gave him the “come hither” look and sent a kiss his way while his girlfriend gave me the stink eye. It was a pretty interesting encounter, and one of my first with rude people in New York. But I survived and will continue to bring you the good sarcastic news for as long as I can, or at least until I get knifed :P

This was my first ever time riding on the subway, and therefore my first ever time witnessing the hectic lifestyle of New Yorkers. My lovely guide informed me that if you were tired on the subway, you napped while the train was moving and then woke up when it stopped to check where you were. I never thought I could do that, until the last day I was on it and I fell asleep with the rumble of the train on the tracks, only to be jolted awake whenever we reached a stop. It’s really not that bad, but it definitely doesn’t qualify as beauty sleep. I highly recommend having a shoulder to lean on :)
