St. Louis Arch is the common name, though it may have a fancier name involving a monument to a gateway to western expansion or some such thing.

2. What is the atomic number of Beryllium?
4, I think

3. What movie, directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Judy Garland, tells the story of a family that is saddened that an impending move to New York might make them miss the World's Fair?

I think the corporate name is InBev and I think one of their brands is Stella Artois.

4 (Beryllium always makes me think of Mr. Shakespeare's Mr. Hamlet as a chemist: "To Be or not to Be.")

Bass (I ran across the news story on the internet recently when I was working on my operatic studies. I was surprised to learn that Bass is much more than a vocal range or a musical instrument. That is one versatile word!)

1. Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen designed what 630 foot high, 630 foot wide monument?
Given the theme and the description I will guess the Gateway Arch.

2. What is the atomic number of Beryllium?
4 representing 1904 I presume.

3. What movie, directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Judy Garland, tells the story of a family that is saddened that an impending move to New York might make them miss the World's Fair?
Meet Me in St. Louis

Heard about it but have forgotten the name of the company. I will SWAG with Grolsch which I think is actually Dutch, not Belgian. But I am guessing most of the beer brands aren't Belgian.
