St. Louis Arch

The design of the arch is an inverted catenary (known to your graphing calculators as -cosh[x]).

A catenary is the curve of a flexible chain held at each end and pulled down by gravity.

Used to be a time when you could go to Trafalgar Square and climb aboard the lions at its base - I remember being photographed astride one - now it's cordoned off, and the Square is just one of many open spaces to gather. Even after 'Sleepless in Seattle'. I still go for:

Empire State Building

Still a great symbol of American achievement
