Visiting The Gateway Arch In St. Louis Missouri
In this adventure I head to St. Louis, Missouri in the United States Of America to visit the Gateway Arch. During vlog I check out this magnificent structure along with heading to the top for a fantastic view across the city.
The Gateway Arch was completed in 1965 and stands at 630ft (192m) above St Louis. Along with heading to the top of this impressive structure, I also check out the museum that's located directly underneath. Along with that I share various pieces of information throughout the video including a look at the unique tramway system that takes you to the top!

NGA Declares City of St. Louis Preferred Site for New $1.75 Billion Facility
Robert Cardillo, Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), has chosen the City of St. Louis as his preferred location to build the new NGA West. Director Cardillo called Mayor Francis Slay with his decision late this afternoon.
Mayor Slay issued the following statement in response:
“The NGA has called St. Louis home for the past 72 years, and I am thrilled that Director Cardillo has indicated that the Agency and its 3,100 employees very likely will continue to do so well into the future. The construction of a state-of-the-art agency in north St. Louis would have an immense impact. This preliminary decision is a victory for urban America. The many benefits to the future of both St. Louis and NGA are immeasurable, promising and exciting.”

Rock City: I Can See Seven States, then Nashville - Traveling Robert
Great American Road Trip 2016 Part 2
On this week's video we visit a famous roadside attraction near Chattanooga, Tennessee called Rock City. Rock city is located on the Georgia side of the border, on top of the Lookout Mountain Ridge.
Rock City became a tourist attraction back in the early 1930s, at the site of a community called Fairyland, founded by one Garnet Carter and his wife Frieda. These rock formations happened to be inside the Fairyland community, and it was Frieda’s idea to develop this part of the property into a great rock garden, with all kinds of plants, trails around the rocks, and statues of gnomes and other fairytale characters imported from Germany. They claim that you can see seven states from the top of the mountain: Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. While on a clear day you can see the Smoky Mountains, that's still the Tennessee side. I don't have hard evidence of this but I have read that Kentucky, Virginia, and South Carolina are below the horizon, so the only way you could see them is if the Earth was flat.
In Rock City we also enjoy the music of Matt Downer - Old Time Traveler, an Alabama native and Chattanooga resident. He plays the fiddle, the banjo, and the guitar, and he has dedicated his career to the preservation of traditional music. He has studied the repertoire and techniques of many of the elder Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia musicians, so he is the real deal. What a treat it is to listen to his music.
As we continue towards Nashville we run into some trouble climbing the Cumberland Plateau , also known Monteagle Mountain. The car started overheating on the long 5% grade. While technically not a mountain, Monteagle got it's popular culture name due to a Johnny Cash song describing this treacherous portion of the road.

Tallest Arch in the World & The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial
Tallest Arch in the World & The Jefferson National Expansion Memorial - The Gateway Arch in St. Louis,Missouri is the world's tallest monument and arch in the world. It is 75 feet taller than the
Washington Monument and it is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty.
However, when we visited the arch, we were not able to go up to the top as the elevators were under construction. Bummer! So we crossed the street instead to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. It is a beautiful building with a colorful dome.
One can go up using the gorgeous and intricate staircase. I believe it used to be a courthouse because there were court rooms in there. We wonder if it is still in use.
You can also learn some history there of African Americans and slavery on the first floor. The heroes of the time and their struggles.
I highly recommend for anyone visiting the arch to cross the street to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. They also have a gift shop if you are interested.
