Is that the Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri?
Yes it is. I've seen it up close and personal one time, and no I did go go up inside the thing.

I was 10 years old when mom took me and my siblings to the Famous-Barr parking garage roof to watch that happen!!!
I read somewhere the the last section to go in didn't quite fit, and they had to do some creative engineering fix it.

Anyway, it's quite a thing to see.

The two halves expanded differently in the sun, with the south leg expanding more than the north one. It took the fire department hosing down the south leg to get them to fit. Fortunately that hasn't happened since :facepalm:
 
Cue the hoary old joke. "May I ask what`s worn under the kilt?* "Nothing, Madam, it`s all in perfect working order."
OK...true story: There was a Scottish regimental band tour near where I grew up, and I was dragged along...at age 15. (Actually, I really enjoyed it and became interested in history partly because of it.) Anyway, as they were all in kilts, some woman was talking to one of the band members and asked, in a flirty way, "What do you have under there?"

He answered , as I remember, "Ten pounds 'o meat and a bucket o' balls." Oh, well...it was a Highland regiment. They're tough guys
