Rather than go through all 50, let's try regions. New England?
No. Mid-West.
Is there a big arch close by?
You mean like this?
Yes there are a lot of them nearby. Just kidding. Yes, you are very close, but it is not St. Louis, but close by.

How about Evansville, IN.
Not Indiana. See my response to Konadog above.
I figured Evansville was in the realm of "close" to St. Louis. I guess we're in MO, then. I'll let someone else venture a guess before I take another stab.

Okay, now I remember. I worked in one of those buildings the last 8 years of my working life! Of course that was over 14 years ago, and I didn't fly to work from St. Louis, I drove from Kirkwood. 
Thanks for the prompt, 3 Dawg Night.

No, really, govner1, I worked in a building in that picture from late 1998 to mid 2006. The red building just to the left and down from the top of the tall building in the center. The road across the picture is Forest Park Pky. I was born, raised, and currently live within ten miles of there. (Not that much of what you see was there in 1943. )
It's Clayton, MO

Clayton it is! I worked there for 4 months. Nice place.
Riga, Latvia?

Or perhaps not. Yes, Riga. This was on a visit in 2011.

Sorry to interject but just wanted to thank you for sharing that pic. Really cool. Humbling how much cool stuff there is out there...
Heh. It says "City of Riga" in Latvian on the blue sign on the building on the right.
This is not my picture; my brother took it on a business trip. Shouldn't be too hard.

That's the reverse angle of the usual picture of Pisa cathedral, the leaning tower is just at the back-right looking not very leaning....
Can't get anything by this crowd! @Northern_Brewer , you're up!

The architecture is very distinctive if you've been there. To be honest I thought you'd managed to get a photo without the tower at all, it took me a while to work out the angle. But that photo does sum up the experience for me - I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I was rather underwhelmed by the tower and far more impressed by the cathedral and baptistry (the round building front-left) which nobody seems to talk about much.
Since we're in lockdown, it's time for a trip to the beach :

Martello towers, shingle beach. Channel coast. Random guess, Hythe?

Indeed, it's Martello towers 14 & 15 at Hythe, built in 1805/6 to keep out the French. I assume the numbers between them are something to do with the nearby army ranges.
As usual with my pics there's a beery connection - Hythe was the home of Mackeson since 1669, for their 240th anniversary in 1909 they put lactose in a dark beer to create milk stout. So Hythe is not only the birthplace of milk stout, but the spiritual home of all its derivatives like pastry stout. However it's not seen brewing for a long time, it ended up in the hands of Whitbread who closed the brewery in 1968 although there's the odd memory lingering on in nearby pubs.
