I think of myself as a Sentimental Video Artist, something I've never heard of but that I feel best expresses my motivation and purpose behind my video creations. The goal is to contribute to the documentation of history in some small way, while evoking emotion, memories and nostalgia for fellow humans, well enough to make a living.

My dad was rear ended on that onramp.
What a lot of people don’t realize is it’s heavily used by Anheuser-Busch employees. If you park behind the brewery, that’s one of the closest on-ramps and more convenient than Arsenal.
Been away from Saint Louis too long. I jumped on that on ramp, knowing it is one you had to get up to speed fast. I loved using it, being young with no fear and a quick car. Also, not used much in the past, just was a fast way to jump on 55 South. No use for it now would help Lemp Mansion, turning it back to a green space.
It's more like 60-plus years old; this part of I-55 was built around 1964-65. MoDOT made the call on the ramp's location, and it's a rather small right-of-way. The I-55 rebuild project is not yet complete, so the ramp is still closed. Also, the speed on that stretch of I-55 usually is 55, not 70. That doesn't happen until one gets out into Jefferson County.
I found the exact years of construction through here rather obscure information, so I figured a poetic "half century" description would cover my bases. Also, the speed limit may be 55 or 60, but if you've driven here any measurable amount you should know it's smart to anticipate some yabbo might well be doing 70 plus in the right lane, so I stand by my data! 🤠
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Could be worse. Entrance ramp could have all those dangerous features And enter onto the fast lane ... not uncommon!
Those of us that live in the area know for sure the way folks drive on I-55 heading out of St. Louis. Most of those ramps are dangerous but as you pointed out that one you showed is very sketchy and I'm curious as well on how many accidents have happened there. I think MODOT and the City of STL was very irritated at the fact that people wanted to save the DeMenil Mansion, but what do I know....
