Giant Vess Soda Bottle

A 34-foot-tall steel replica of a family-size orange Vess Soda bottle, originally built in 1953 as a rotating neon advertisement and now standing as a beloved landmark in St. Louis's Bottle District.

The move: Grab a classic can of Vess Whistle Orange soda from a local grocery store, drive up to the giant bottle for a retro photo shoot, and then walk over to nearby Laclede's Landing for dinner.
