Interstate 70 runs east-west through the city, while Interstate 55 runs north-south from the northwest corner to downtown. Interstate 64 and 44 also enter the city on the south and west, respectively. Located on the Mississippi Flyway, St. Louis has a diverse and interesting mix of small bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1766, the city of St. Louis was home to 75 buildings made of stone quarried from the river bluff and timber posts. The population reached 300 people and surpassed the 1000 mark by the turn of the 19th century. This city was populated by French, Spanish, and black slaves. The town also boasted a bakery and two taverns. Despite the small size of the city, the residents were able to buy merchandise for ridiculous prices due to the difficulty of transporting goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Old Courthouse is a historic landmark in St. Louis. This building was built in 1839, and is best seen when the Gateway Arch rises behind it. The Old Courthouse was a venue for two important court cases in history. Dred Scott and Virginia Minor both sued for their freedom from slavery in this building, and their argument against women&#8217;s rights was made here. At the same time, the city was a center for international business, and St. Louis was soon a major center for manufacturing and shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you prefer beer or wine, St. Louis has a wide variety of attractions to appeal to every type of drinker. The iconic Gateway Arch is just one of the landmarks in St. Louis, as well as several museums and parks. Visitors will enjoy a diverse range of arts and culture, great shopping, and interesting architectural sights. And, the Gateway Arch is one of the iconic structures in the country. This neoclassical structure is a must-see when visiting the St. Louis region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The population of St. Louis is made up of various ethnic groups. The largest ethnic group is African-American, and the city has a significant minority of Asian-American residents. Chinese people, Vietnamese, and southern Europeans also reside in the city. The Vietnamese population has a concentrated presence in the Dutchtown neighborhood in south St. Louis, while the Chinese community mainly resides in the Central West End. While white people make up about 2.2% of the population of St. Louis, their number is higher in Graveis Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The railroads came to St. Louis in the 1850s, replacing riverboat traffic. The railroads continued to serve the area as a base for the Union during the American Civil War. They were the dominant transportation mode for years, bringing about an enormous change in the city. In addition to the railroads, St. Louis also has several other notable corporations, including Arch Coal, Bunge Limited, Patriot Coal, Post Holdings, and Enterprise Holdings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are planning to visit St. Louis, you may want to take advantage of the numerous interstate highways in the area.
