Yep, its THE arch. There's a lot I didn't know about the arch before visiting, so I will share all that with you now. It represents a gateway to the west, celebrating westward expansion. (I'm going the wrong way, then). You can ride to the top in white metal pods handing from cables. There's a low-ceilinged room at the top. Jonathan (next post) tells of a friend who got to the room at the top, looked for his car parked below, and watch it get broken into. Urban legend? Maybe. Great story. It's a national park, and there's an IMAX theater in the basement. It's much larger than the statue of liberty. I wonder how large it is next to an offshore wind turbine...
