[⌊Saint Louis Gateway Arch⌉⌊Saint Louis Gateway Arch⌉[I keep going back to my Flickr
account to look at this picture of the Saint Louis Gateway Arch that I took while
we were listening to Ani DiFranco at Live on the Levee. We pretty much had the perfect
spot for this picture and the concert.

[Live on the Levee](http://celebratestlouis.org/site/) is a fantastic free event
that happens every Friday and Saturday night throughout the summer. We had planned
to go to several concerts this summer, but we only made it to see Ani. With the 
Arch in the background, you couldn’t ask for a better setting. Other artists that
appeared this summer were Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Los Lonely Boys, 
and G. Love & Special Sauce.

I was actually surprised by how manageable the crowd was that night. Back in Chicago,
the free concerts in Grant Park were always very crowded, but Live on the Levee 
was much more enjoyable because of the smaller crowd. I suppose that comes with 
living in a smaller city, but I think it’s something I can get used to.

For all of you St. Louisans that didn’t make the trip downtown this summer, you 
really missed out. Get out next summer and enjoy the events that make this city 
unique and great.
