Re: St Louis Arch

Ive been there a couple times as well. Cool structure but the elevators suck. Crazy how they build such a unique structure.

Why do the elevators suck? What's wrong with them? Too small? Uncomfortable?

There's a teleportation device on the side of it. The instructions are in English, Spanish and Klingon.

Re: St Louis Arch

Elevators that are as small as the smallest part of the arch... so theyre like 2ftx2ft wide and they have you go four or so at a time so its like five pounds of shit in a ten pound bag. Not to mention they are old and on an old as dirt pulley cable system that swings with the motion of the building.
