Hateful my ass, just because its in KC doesn't mean that I have to like it, or am I not entitled to my own opinion? It's "Conform to my standards" and nothing else.
Well I have certain tastes, and the Liberty Memorial looks like a giant tree trunk to me. Maybe you don't like my opinion, thats too bad because you can't change it.
I hate to get into this whole Rosedale Arch vs. Liberty Memorial debate -- becuase it is silly and they each stand alone -- but I've gotta say that Rosedale could be so much better. It isn't that big, so it doesn't feel magestic and grand -- and the grounds don't feature the amazing setting that Liberty Memorial has.
Don't get me wrong, I love the arch. It is hard to list it as a destination up there all alone. If it were bigger and better lit, it would be amazing on the hillside and it would speak for itself, but it just doesn't meet its potential. I don't take people there nearly as much as I take people to Liberty Memorial. No great views, no ride to the top, no platform and grounds, no fountains -- and a tiny fraction of the great history of Liberty.
Great monument, but a rival to Liberty Memorial it is not.
