For his Roaming St. Louis segment this week, KMOX host Scott Jagow ventured to the Del Mar Loop to hang out at the Moonrise Hotel. Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, the hotel features a lunar theme combined with a one-of-a-kind solar panel setup on the rooftop.
Scott chats with owner Joe Edwards, whose passion for the moon comes through with his collections on site and GM Jake Wescott. Listen below.
