1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,740
Good morning, Northern Michigan.

2
00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:05,440
This is Cup of Traverse City for the

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,740
12/30/2025,

4
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:12,580
and it's the 2025.

5
00:00:13,035 --> 00:00:15,595
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, as if you

6
00:00:15,595 --> 00:00:17,054
didn't already know that.

7
00:00:17,914 --> 00:00:18,414
But,

8
00:00:19,195 --> 00:00:19,695
anyway,

9
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:23,114
let's get to the weather. Of course, it

10
00:00:23,114 --> 00:00:24,335
snowed a lot yesterday.

11
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:29,260
Today, snow showers likely mainly after 1PM, cloudy

12
00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:31,280
with a high near 22, and

13
00:00:32,219 --> 00:00:34,560
northwest wind 10 to 15 miles

14
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,799
an hour, and precipitation

15
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:39,104
is 70%

16
00:00:39,244 --> 00:00:41,265
possible. Total daytime accumulation

17
00:00:41,645 --> 00:00:44,304
around an inch possible. I think that's mostly,

18
00:00:45,884 --> 00:00:49,085
lake effects. So, you know, your mileage may

19
00:00:49,085 --> 00:00:50,545
vary as they say.

20
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:54,109
Tonight, snow showers, steady temperature around 20, northwest

21
00:00:54,109 --> 00:00:55,890
wind five to 10, chance precipitation

22
00:00:56,429 --> 00:00:59,549
is 90%, new snow accumulation of around two

23
00:00:59,549 --> 00:01:02,909
inches. Again, it's lake effect, so you may

24
00:01:02,909 --> 00:01:05,170
get zero and you might get a foot.

25
00:01:05,975 --> 00:01:07,034
You know how that goes.

26
00:01:07,655 --> 00:01:10,775
And, tomorrow snow showers high near 22 northwest

27
00:01:10,775 --> 00:01:13,094
wind 10 to 15 miles an hour with

28
00:01:13,094 --> 00:01:14,555
gusts as high as 30.

29
00:01:14,935 --> 00:01:17,174
Now that's gonna be blowing stuff around, but,

30
00:01:17,655 --> 00:01:19,194
new snow about an inch

31
00:01:19,709 --> 00:01:21,709
possible. But, of course, you know, in the

32
00:01:21,709 --> 00:01:24,189
drifting areas, it's, you know, is what it

33
00:01:24,189 --> 00:01:27,010
is. It's Traverse City or Northern Michigan

34
00:01:27,709 --> 00:01:29,329
or yeah. Whatever.

35
00:01:30,109 --> 00:01:30,609
Alright.

36
00:01:31,549 --> 00:01:34,189
Story I picked out today was, something I

37
00:01:34,189 --> 00:01:35,010
ran across

38
00:01:35,605 --> 00:01:36,745
just kinda accidentally.

39
00:01:38,004 --> 00:01:39,944
I'm sure you've heard of Francisco's

40
00:01:40,644 --> 00:01:41,704
market in Delhi.

41
00:01:42,325 --> 00:01:44,265
They're up at the top of Green Hill.

42
00:01:44,644 --> 00:01:46,564
Of course, people don't call it Green Hill

43
00:01:46,564 --> 00:01:49,409
anymore, but, Silver Lake Road, that big hill,

44
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:51,189
you know, heading out of town towards,

45
00:01:51,730 --> 00:01:52,549
Long Lake.

46
00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:53,750
And

47
00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:55,969
you've got a little shopping center at the

48
00:01:55,969 --> 00:01:58,210
top of the hill there kinda where the

49
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:00,850
there's a hardware store, kitty corner across the

50
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:02,870
road. There's a little Mexican

51
00:02:03,895 --> 00:02:06,234
place that used to be Green Hill grocery.

52
00:02:07,015 --> 00:02:09,115
Okay. Now I'm getting into history here.

53
00:02:09,574 --> 00:02:09,895
But,

54
00:02:10,534 --> 00:02:13,094
that shopping center, the the first half of

55
00:02:13,094 --> 00:02:14,634
the building is Francisco's

56
00:02:15,175 --> 00:02:16,235
market in Deli.

57
00:02:16,819 --> 00:02:18,659
And, you know, they have all the all

58
00:02:18,659 --> 00:02:20,680
the good stuff, you know, they got a

59
00:02:20,819 --> 00:02:21,800
a deli and

60
00:02:22,099 --> 00:02:23,719
they got, you know,

61
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:26,520
sandwiches and all the all the good stuff,

62
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,520
you know, meatballs, love the meatballs.

63
00:02:29,985 --> 00:02:31,924
But, anyway, so Francisco's

64
00:02:32,224 --> 00:02:32,965
is expanding.

65
00:02:33,264 --> 00:02:35,824
They're gonna open a store on the East

66
00:02:35,824 --> 00:02:36,324
Side.

67
00:02:36,784 --> 00:02:38,625
But when I say open a store, they're

68
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,544
not really opening a store. They're sort of

69
00:02:40,544 --> 00:02:42,485
taking over Bayside Market.

70
00:02:43,025 --> 00:02:43,844
That's the

71
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:46,969
the little place there kinda near the,

72
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:50,569
head near the state park,

73
00:02:51,349 --> 00:02:53,849
on the East Side of the state park.

74
00:02:55,189 --> 00:02:57,129
And next door is that,

75
00:02:59,235 --> 00:03:01,314
I call it a Mexican place, but it's

76
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:01,814
not.

77
00:03:02,754 --> 00:03:05,395
Now I'm just drawing a blank, but there's

78
00:03:05,395 --> 00:03:07,254
a restaurant right next door.

79
00:03:07,555 --> 00:03:10,375
Used to be GT's Billiard Hall,

80
00:03:11,169 --> 00:03:12,289
for those of you that have been around

81
00:03:12,289 --> 00:03:13,110
here a while.

82
00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:15,030
But, anyway, Francisco's

83
00:03:15,650 --> 00:03:16,549
is expanding

84
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:19,009
with the second location on the East Side

85
00:03:19,009 --> 00:03:20,069
Of Traverse City.

86
00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:23,250
And, you know, I don't know if it's

87
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:25,425
a takeover or a partnership

88
00:03:26,044 --> 00:03:28,925
or what. They call it a partnership with

89
00:03:28,925 --> 00:03:29,665
two friends,

90
00:03:30,925 --> 00:03:33,564
identified as Dan and Kim. So I don't

91
00:03:33,564 --> 00:03:35,824
know who Dan and Kim are, but,

92
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:39,209
they're gonna, you know, keep what Bayside has.

93
00:03:39,209 --> 00:03:41,209
You know, they have seafood was kind of

94
00:03:41,209 --> 00:03:42,750
their thing. You know, they have,

95
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:45,709
you know, shrimp and

96
00:03:46,489 --> 00:03:47,069
and lobsters

97
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:50,444
and crab legs and, you know, also kind

98
00:03:50,444 --> 00:03:53,645
of a full deli sorta menu and and,

99
00:03:53,645 --> 00:03:56,365
of course, they're a liquor store and beer

100
00:03:56,365 --> 00:03:58,145
store and all that. So

101
00:03:58,525 --> 00:03:59,264
but, anyway,

102
00:04:00,205 --> 00:04:00,865
they also,

103
00:04:01,325 --> 00:04:03,580
they're also the camp store for the state

104
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:05,659
park, which is kinda interesting. They have one

105
00:04:05,659 --> 00:04:07,900
little section that has, you know, like RV

106
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:08,400
stuff.

107
00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:09,520
And

108
00:04:10,139 --> 00:04:10,620
that's,

109
00:04:10,939 --> 00:04:13,180
you know, they must have partnered with the

110
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:14,960
with the state park. But,

111
00:04:16,165 --> 00:04:19,625
yeah. So that's gonna be interesting having, Francisco's

112
00:04:19,925 --> 00:04:22,404
on this side of town. They're just renaming

113
00:04:22,404 --> 00:04:24,105
it slightly. It's gonna be called

114
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:25,464
Francisco's

115
00:04:25,925 --> 00:04:26,425
Bayside.

116
00:04:26,964 --> 00:04:27,464
So

117
00:04:28,099 --> 00:04:30,120
I don't know if they're doing any renovations

118
00:04:30,419 --> 00:04:31,240
just yet.

119
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,620
Didn't look any different when I drove by

120
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,699
there the other day. I'd because I didn't

121
00:04:35,699 --> 00:04:37,159
know anything about it.

122
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:38,120
But,

123
00:04:38,579 --> 00:04:39,959
yeah, it's just another

124
00:04:40,714 --> 00:04:43,995
another local business doing their thing. And, you

125
00:04:43,995 --> 00:04:46,254
know, Francisco's up on the hill there

126
00:04:46,714 --> 00:04:47,855
is a pretty

127
00:04:48,634 --> 00:04:49,694
pretty nice place.

128
00:04:50,875 --> 00:04:52,395
And, you know, when I used to eat

129
00:04:52,395 --> 00:04:54,555
such things, they have really good no bake

130
00:04:54,555 --> 00:04:55,055
cookies.

131
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:58,790
That's kind of what I would do.

132
00:04:59,090 --> 00:04:59,830
Go out

133
00:05:00,290 --> 00:05:02,850
to mom's and do, do snow blowing. And

134
00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:04,610
then on the way home, I'd stop at

135
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:06,850
Francisco's and get a no bake cookie as

136
00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:07,590
my treat.

137
00:05:08,129 --> 00:05:08,629
But

138
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,270
I'm doing better not doing that.

139
00:05:12,285 --> 00:05:12,785
Francisco's,

140
00:05:13,324 --> 00:05:16,705
I don't know if they started in interlocking

141
00:05:17,645 --> 00:05:18,545
or if

142
00:05:19,165 --> 00:05:21,245
or what the deal is, but I do

143
00:05:21,245 --> 00:05:23,025
remember them being in interlocking.

144
00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:26,980
There's that little party store, I call it

145
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:27,960
a party store,

146
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:30,360
that kind of looks like a pole barn

147
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,139
that's just before you get to the music

148
00:05:33,139 --> 00:05:33,639
camp.

149
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:35,480
They're in Interlochen

150
00:05:35,939 --> 00:05:36,439
on

151
00:05:37,205 --> 00:05:39,685
Matty Highway or whatever they call it, M

152
00:05:39,685 --> 00:05:40,884
137

153
00:05:40,884 --> 00:05:43,444
or I don't remember. They keep changing the

154
00:05:43,444 --> 00:05:45,045
name of that. I think it's called Matty

155
00:05:45,045 --> 00:05:46,665
Parkway or something now.

156
00:05:47,285 --> 00:05:47,785
But,

157
00:05:48,964 --> 00:05:51,285
anyway, that that has not you know, that's

158
00:05:51,285 --> 00:05:52,759
not called Francisco's

159
00:05:53,459 --> 00:05:53,959
now.

160
00:05:54,819 --> 00:05:55,139
It's,

161
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:57,860
it's something else, but they still have the

162
00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:59,160
same sort of stuff

163
00:05:59,540 --> 00:06:00,199
in there.

164
00:06:00,899 --> 00:06:03,939
But, anyway, they opened that store on the

165
00:06:03,939 --> 00:06:06,074
on the top of the hill there probably

166
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:08,314
ten years ago, maybe a little longer than

167
00:06:08,314 --> 00:06:08,814
that.

168
00:06:09,355 --> 00:06:11,214
And, they said now they're expanding

169
00:06:11,514 --> 00:06:12,495
on the East Side.

170
00:06:13,035 --> 00:06:14,954
I live on the East Side, so maybe

171
00:06:14,954 --> 00:06:17,194
I'll have to frequent them a little more

172
00:06:17,194 --> 00:06:17,694
frequently,

173
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:20,958
if that's, the way to put that. Anyway,

174
00:06:21,018 --> 00:06:23,658
be safe out there. Drive carefully, and we

175
00:06:23,658 --> 00:06:24,958
will catch you tomorrow.
