Description
Walk a section of the Brickline Greenway that is a catalyst of economic growth, a celebration of community and a tribute to the past. This walking tour will share plans intended for 20 miles of the Brickline that will connect 17 different neighborhoods and raise the collective voices of the community.
The tour will begin at Harris-Stowe State University where Mill Creek Valley once stood. We will meet at Dr. Henry Givens Jr. Administration Building; 3026 Laclede Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63103.

Approximately 1.25 mi.
