Why is Captain Roys hosting a massive party in the middle of February? We ask owner Wade Thompson about Shiver On The River and who will win the tug-of-war between the Des Moines Police Department and The Des Moines Fire Department. We also talk about East and North side development.

It's an exciting time for the region, says Thompson.
