I think statements like that is what has really hurt this project. Even if it is really nice, it has been way oversold. Clearly, it is a nice small attraction, but not a defining landmark like the ones above. At it's current visibility it will never be a symbol instantly recognized and associated with the city as the GG bridge and the STL arch are. Suggesting that it will be trivializes it and seems silly.In its own way, the Beacon of Hope is the kind of landmark comparable to the St. Louis Arch and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, said James Pickel, co-owner of Smith and Pickel Construction Co.
