How We Work
Kevin Cobb a.k.a “Kernel Cobb” sells a rotating selection of fresh-popped kettle corn and fresh-squeezed “Lemon Shakeups” on the Mississippi Greenway beneath the Gateway Arch. After a year of historic flooding followed by a global pandemic, he is back for the third year as a Riverfront vendor.
“It’s pretty cool to be able to work in the shadow of the Arch. It’s an amazing structure that we locals sometimes take for granted. It looks different every single day. I have hundreds of pictures of the Arch on my phone because I am always trying to capture the way the light hits at different times. I also love meeting people from around the world. Last summer there were mostly visitors from just 4 or 5 hours away—it was the year of RV’s and campers! Sometimes we’re slammed with customers and other times we are slow—but we take it all in stride down here on the Mississippi River!”
