In the latest edition of Missouri Life Magazine, writer Matt Crossman takes readers through the Great Rivers Greenway in St. Louis. Having spent countless hours on the trail at all times of day and in all kinds of weather, Matt has developed a deep connection to this unique urban pathway.
In a conversation with Bill Pollock, he shares what makes the Greenway so special, how it fosters a sense of community, and why it’s more than just a place to walk or bike—it’s a place where people connect. He also touches on some surprising statistics about loneliness in St. Louis and how the trail became, in his words, “a self-made pop-up breakfast restaurant.”
Matt also offers recommendations on must-visit spots along the trail for those outside of St. Louis. Whether you’re a seasoned trail-goer or just looking for a new outdoor escape, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
