Also, by the layout of your site it was mildly difficult to tell if there was more to the article or if the Gettysburg thing was even what the page was about (though maybe that's just because I thought it was going to be interesting).

The older generations of locals said that, when they'd been away from V'burg, they weren't really home again until they had driven through the arch.
