Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri
Two American Midwestern cities just 260 miles (418 km) apart, although if you’ve seen Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, you’d think they were a lot further away than that.
Wait, why I am comparing these two cities? Why not Chicago and Houston? Or St. Louis and Kansas City? Doesn’t that make more sense.
Well kind of. But I’m comparing Chicago and St. Louis because those two cities were once in direct competition to become the biggest and most important city in the Midwest. I’m making this video in collaboration with Dave from the channel City Beautiful. On his channel, he has a video explaining why and how Chicago beat out St. Louis to indeed become THE biggest, most important Midwestern city. Be sure to check it out after you’re done watching this one.
Once upon a time, it was actually St. Louis that appeared to be destined to become the biggest, most important American Midwestern city. First of all, St. Louis is older than Chicago. It was founded by the French in 1764, after they lost the Seven Years’ War. Basically, French settlers fled there from the east after the British took over their former territory. For its first 38 years, St. Louis was under Spanish control. So while the French lived there, the Spanish guarded the town during that time. In those early years, St. Louis established itself as a major fur trading center. In 1803, when it had maybe 1,000 people living there, the United States bought Louisiana from France after it briefly took it back over. St. Louis, being in Louisiana, was now an American city, and became the administrative capital of all of Louisiana Territory. After Lewis and Clark left St. Louis exploring this vast territory, others would follow, and the city became a hub for folks on their way out to the “Wild West.”
St. Louis steadily grew, it’s population nearing 5,000 by 1830. In 1833, when St. Louis was 69 years old, Chicago was finally born. I mean, St. Louis was a creepy old man by the time Chicago came around. While St. Louis was mostly a fur trading hub, Chicago quickly became a transportation hub, a way to connect the east, where most Americans lived, to the west. It was the site of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, completed in 1848 to connect the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. After a couple decades, it became the most important railroad city in the country.

Riding the Delmar Loop Trolley
(2-22-19) Today Jeff, Brian, and I take a ride on the very interesting Delmar Loop Trolley. It feels like forever since they first started building this thing and I finally got to try it out! I am quite impressed how nice this short trolley line is, but it is not a practical means of transportation for this area. If you are in the Delmar loop area, I would totally recommend taking a ride on this to the end and back!

I drove through downtown St. Louis. This is what I saw.
We begin our tour of St Louis on the corner of Broadway and Cole street, downtown, at the Dome at Americas Center. This is where the St Louis Rams used to play. It’s on the north end of downtown.
We’re going to drive up and down the streets of downtown St. Louis and show you different points of interest. It’s Wednesday, December, 18, 2019 at 10 o clock in the morning.
St Louis had just received 4 inches of snow the previous day, but on this day, the sun was shining bright. On an average year, St Louis gets about 16 inches of snow, so for St Louis, this was considered pretty decent snowfall.
St Louis was named for King Louis IX. The city was founded in 1764 as a French fur-trading village. Nicknamed the gateway to the west, St Louis has more free major tourist attractions than any other city in the country outside Washington, D.C. Visitors pay nothing to visit the art museum, the history museum, the science center and the zoo.
We’re coming up on Clark Street, which is where Busch Stadium is. This is home to the St Louis cardinals, Say Mappy: Did you know: The cardinals have won 11 world series titles. Also on this street is ballpark village on the right, where there are lots of restaurants and bars. On game days you can sit on the roof and watch the games from across the street.
We’re heading west now towards the Enterprise Center, which is another venue where they play hockey games and hold concerts. This is where the St Louis Blues play for the NHL. They just won the Stanley Cup only a few months back.
We’re heading north now on14th Street up towards the heart of downtown. Off to the east, you can see The Arch, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. We’ll go down there and get a closer view later.
We’ll head east now on Washington Street.
The American Planning Association called Washington Street one of the 10 best streets in America. Years back this was a pretty dumpy street, but after $100 million in renovations, now its one of the trendiest and hottest spots in St. Louis.
They say Washington Street is the perfect combination of modern chic meets classic 19th century architecture lined with beautiful lofts, eclectic boutiques and restaurants and exciting nightlife.
Now, we’re going to head south on 6th Street.
In 1904, St. Louis was the first U.S. city, and only the third in the world, to host the modern summer Olympics. St. Louis is home to Anheuser Busch, and Nestle Purina.
Directly in front of us is Keiner (like weaner) Plaza Park, which has a skating rink, playground, fountains and a concert area.
Off to the distance you can see the arch. The big domed building is the old courthouse, which is now part of the Gateway Arch National Park. It used to be where many important court cases, including the infamous Dred Scott anti slavery court case.
We’re going to go back down Broadway and take Market Street.
Now we’ll take Tucker Blvd north again.
This is Olive Street.
Now, we’re going to go back to 4th Street and head north so we can get to the entrance for the Gateway Arch.
In this part of town are a number of casinos.
The Gateway Arch is 630 feet high. It’s nicknamed the Gateway to the West, and is a monument to the Western Hemisphere. It’s the tallest arch in the world and the tallest man-made monument in the United States.
It was built in 1965 for a cost of 13 million dollars.
For $12 bucks you can take a tram to the top where there are windows from which you can see 30 miles to the east and west. People who go to the top sometimes get scared, since on windy days, it sways as much as 18 inches in either direction.
South of the arch now, we begin our departure from St. Louis. We’ll cross the Mississippi River over I-55 on the Clay Bridge.
St Louis is a really awesome city and there’s a TON of stuff to do. This was just the downtown area. There are many other areas to explore. St Louis gets a bad rap for being one of the most dangerous cities in the country, and there are some really bad and dangerous areas in the greater St Louis Metro area outside of downtown proper.
But as far as downtown itself, it’s a great city.

Gateway Arch - Elevator to the Top - View - St. Louis
Riding the tramway to the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The tram is a sort of custom-made elevator/tram. The Arch was the result of a design competition in which famous architect Eero Saarinen won. The landscape was designed by landscape architect Dan Kylie, who is revered in the field of landscape architecture. During the filming of this, the ride up took approximately 5 minutes. There were ~30 mph winds, so the arch was definitely swaying. The cost to ride the tram to the top was $ 10. Well worth it.

A Trip to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis/Kirkwood, MO 4/16/16
Sorry that haven't been active on the channel for a while now. I've been losing motivation to make and publish videos on Youtube. But now I got my motivation back, and I'll be uploading many videos as I can and as soon as possible!
This video was took on 4/16/16, or April 16, 2016, me, my dad, and my sister went out to the Museum of Transportation in the St. Louis/ Kirkwood, MO area. Lots of foreign steam and diesel locomotives, and even some fancy old cars from the 1930-70's(which I didn't get photos of until the next part coming soon;) ), the area where the museum is was once the Illinois Terminal and Missouri Pacific Railway Barret Station, which was once a busy passenger station back in the mid' 1950's and etc.
This video also has a slideshow of pictures that I took of most locomotives out at the museum that day. Also, sorry that there is no music during the slide show, not because of anything copyright related, but I'm used the YouTube Editor to make this video and I can't put uncopyrighted music in a certain place. But with that being said, enjoy the video, and don't forget the Like, Comment, and SUBSCRIBE!!! for more videos!
