The Gateway Arch is Respected To This Day
Although some thought it was frivolous, the Arch is an important monument of today. City planners thought long and hard about the arch when they made plans around the area.
It was ranked fourth on a 1974 list of “most-visited man-made attractions.” The arch earned national landmark status in 1987 as well. It is a monument we Americans can be proud of!
The Azure Swimming Pool Was Popular In Pripyat, Ukraine
There were three famous indoor swimming spots in Pripyat, Ukraine. The Azure Swimming Pool was one of them. Built in the ‘70s, it was popular among the young people who lived in the town.
However, the city would be the site of a catastrophic nuclear incident. On April 25, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded and left the area uninhabitable.
