I took an hour and toured the St. Louis Arch at the Jefferson Expansion Memorial on Saturday while I was in St. Louis for a race. Because the archway is actually made of equal lateral triangles, the windows at the top make for quite a gnarley view/feeling. The windows are actually tilted downward so you really don't look out from them horizontally, but rather straight down vertically. It almost feels like you are looking through a glass floor 700 feet in the air all while inside a compartment 15 feet wide and less than 7 feet tall. Claustrophobia anyone?
