I took this picture of the Old Courthouse from the Gateway Arch. Both are part of the impressive Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, which celebrates St. Louis' role in the westward expansion of the United States. If you visit the national park, be sure to take the four-minute ride up the arch and watch the movie about its making. Amazingly, the 630-foot monument was built without anyone dying. Watch the film and you'll understand what I mean. It is truly an engineering wonder.
