Castle on the hill, wake up in the sky ☁️
Did you know, no one died while building the @gatewayarchstl? The only death associated with the structure was in 1980 when sky diver Kenneth Swyers attempted to parachute onto the Gateway Arch.
While he successfully landed on top of the arch, he was knocked off by a strong wind and plummeted to his death when his secondary chute didn't open.

Did you notice, the @homeofbud Clydesdales recently got a face lift? 🐴
Founded in 1852 by German immigrant Adolphus Busch, AB quickly became one of the most influential and innovative beer producers in the world. From the introduction of the iconic Budweiser brand in 1876 to the development of pasteurization techniques that revolutionized the industry, Anheuser-Busch has been at the forefront of beer-making technology and marketing, making it a symbol of St. Louis culture and pride 🌇🍻.
When was the last time you visited the brewery?

@cincodemayostl is now one of St. Louis’ largest festival and it’s happening today on @cherokeestreet. 🔥

In 1947, a man truly ahead of his time opened one of the most unique restaurants St. Louis has ever seen.
Arthur Wild opened “Wild’s Palace of Poison” in the Lemay Ferry area selling delicious drive-in hamburgers with a not-so-appealing theme. The eatery’s mantra was actually “Eat Here If It Kills You”, which shined bright through the dark nights on a giant neon sign which cost $6,000 at the time (around $75,000 in todays money).
Positioned across the street from an actual cemetery, Art had his own mock cemetery of gravestones with such epitaphs as "Here lies poor old Cousin Tillie. All she had was a bowl of chili." The menu featured otherwise normal items with curious names such as “murder burgers” and “idiots delight”. To make sure every meal was as memorable as death, Art even included a signed death certificate for all of us “unfortunate victims” featuring their order and the date of their visit.
The restaurant was successful for 17 years, but when a Steak 'n Shake restaurant opened a few doors down from Art in 1964, the nail was driven into the coffin of the Palace of Poison. Art did make an attempt at franchising the business, but investors were leery of a poison-themed restaurant. Art was a definitely man ahead of his time and just one of the many reasons why this town is so incredible.

Did you know St. Louis was once home to the worlds only floating McDonalds?
That’s right, not even the mighty Mississippi River is immune to the expansion of the Golden Arches. From 1980 to 2000 Ronald and company served up fast food to both locals and tourists alike, right under the shadow of the National Gateway Arch.
From the original news story by the St. Louis Post Dispatch: “Officials expect it to generate more than $100,000 in tax revenue annually. Besides employing black youths, Davis used area black artists to complete the boat's decor.”
Fashion designer Raymond S. Dennis came up with special costumes for the restaurant's crew, including an admiral's outfit for Davis; artist Charles Pearson's wood plank murals and paintings help give the boat an authentic atmosphere.”
Pretty funny to think about today but apparently this was a family favorite back in the day! Many social media comments speak fondly of day trips down to the river to get both a taste and a view of two American icons - not bad for the price of admission!

Fun fact: the @uswnt hosted a game at Busch Stadium back in 2015. In a thrilling match, the US Women's National Soccer Team showcased their world-class skills and teamwork, securing a 4-0 victory over their opponent.
Fast forward to 2023, the U.S. Women's National Team beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 in front of an electric crowd of 22,294 fans at @stlcitypark in the second international friendly over four days between the two World Cup-bound teams.
