The best part of spending my afternoon in Illinois yesterday, aside from seeing my friend, was the drive back into the City. There is something about the scale of the Arch and the downtown buildings that always manages to take my breath away when crossing the Poplar Street bridge. The Mississippi River separates Missouri from Illinois perfectly and allows the St. Louis skyline to have some breathing room.

Seeing our city's skyline from this vantage point sort of inspired me and gave me hope that our City and her residents could overcome their problems...bad politics, bad schools, bad developments and all.
