"Summary: St. Louisans never leave their hometown. We even have kindergarten reunions here. That's why the Arch is the perfect city symbol. It celebrates our role as the Gateway to the West. Only St. Louis would build a monument to the people who left --Elaine Viets. Truly, few who have experienced the charm of St. Louis have wanted to leave this magnificent city. Deeply rooted in tradition, it's where two American cultures collide -- a place whore the rise of the cosmopolitan East mets the wide-open expanses of the West. In the best and truest sense of the phrase, St. Louis is middle ground. With the aid of more than 350 colorful images by the area's finest photographers, St. Louis newspaper columnist Elaine Viets brings to life the unique character and wonderful signs, sounds, and smells that emanate from the Gateway City. And she traces the area's transformation from a bustling river town in the heart of the frontier West to a place where deep-rooted heritage combines with progressive vision to form an unsurpassed quality of life. But Viets leads us beyond the famous Arch and the majestic Mississippi, the city's two abiding symbols, to reveal a community of distinct neighborhoods made up of an eclectic blend of freethinkers and traditionalist. The city's future, these citizens will tell you, still holds out promise. And the promise beckons.
