The fireworks in Alton light up the sky. For years I ve made the trek from south St. Louis to Alton and the Great River Road in search of good times and adventure, from ziplining above the bluffs in Grafton to seeing some of the region s best drag shows at Bubby & Sissy s. But this summer the Riverbend is pulling out all the stops to encourage many more of you to discover what s long felt like a secret escape. Every Thursday night from June through September, Alton and Grafton bookending what I d argue is the most gorgeous stretch of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway will be featuring dazzling fireworks on their respective waterfronts.

There is a man who searches for them. The Owl Man. His name is Mark Glenshaw. For the last fifteen years, the local naturalist has made the owls of Forest Park not just a part of his daily life, but that of the owl prowl groups he leads. Glenshaw doesn t publicize the location of the owls roost. It s something you have to see for yourself. I ve come to respect the ethos of the Show-Me State, and I think of an owl prowl as a group of folks saying, We re serious. We re going to spend some time and effort with you, he explains.
