LOVED IT! That is what I think! I love the format of an old picture, and then a more current one. Comparing the pictures, explaining when buildings were destroyed by fire or for future development, etc. I am glad I own it so when we go on our own excursions, I have a good reference book!

Great photos

Part of a small series of picture books juxtaposing old photographs with current views from the same vantage point. By far the most compelling is the original downtown/warehouse district bustling street view which, now is merely the side of Saarinen's Gateway Arch.

Generic photographic essay on the city. Well done with good commentary.

pictoral history of the city. great resource before visiting. there is more history here than i had previously imagined. more than just mark twain and beer, anyway.

There were some great pictures in here! Unfortunately it's already so dated, as it was written in 1999.
