- Metrolink light rail actually crosses the Mississippi River on the lower level of the Eads Bridge and goes into this metro St. Louis suburb. The stations have parking. The extension created controversy as to its impact on the Missouri side of the river, where St. Louis is located.

- The city sports the tallest fountain, or geyser, in the U.S.
