As a part of Rally St. Louis’ #OurSTL initiative to help the St. Louis community move forward from the recent events in Ferguson and North St. Louis County, Branded Crosswalks is a great example of how we can continue to improve #OurSTL and strengthen the bonds of our larger community on an every day basis.
