Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is your cup
of Traverse City for the 03/19/2026.
I'm Mike, and I do have my coffee
and sore muscles from moving snow.
But it looks like that is behind us.
We'll get to the weather here in a
a bit.
But today's top story, at least what I
found was Garfield Township is going to
review a new plan for Cherryland
Electric's new headquarters.
It's gonna be out there
off of Renny School Road,
kinda near the ballpark and
and all that up there. You guys know
where that is. I'm around here.
But, they wanna
do a 110,000
square foot
thing out there. They're, gonna have two driveways,
which is not normally allowed.
They're gonna at least that's what they're asking
for.
And I guess they're building a new road
called,
Olson
Drive.
Well, it's, gonna connect to Reddy School Road
with
some other road over there. I don't know
what's in the article.
But, yeah, it looks,
looks
pretty,
pretty interesting.
The reason they want the two driveways is,
you know, during
power outages and whatnot, they have crews coming
in from all over, and they'd like to
have a one way
in, one way out so they're not to
have to jockey trucks around to,
fuel them up and get them all loaded
up to to go out
and fix power outages. Speaking of power outages,
I think there's still some people, down south
of us that are still without power from
the ice storms,
during the blizzard
last week
or this week or earlier
or this weekend, I guess. I don't know.
I've been scrambled lately. That's why I didn't
have an episode yesterday, but
we're, we're getting back
back into it here.
But, yeah,
this whole thing,
is going before the Garfield township
board.
I
think it's Garfield Township. Yeah.
And, Garfield Township's also gonna be, talking about
other things at their
meeting.
I guess there's some
apartments,
along Garfield that are gonna be
redone
or added to, I guess.
Some other apartment buildings
off of,
Draca Road and Hartman Road, that area
that are,
expanding, and, they want short term rentals.
But, yeah, lots of, planning and zoning.
I guess it's April 8, so it's a
little ways off.
I guess another
another property right near Copper Ridge
was the
there's a church up there in a neighborhood
just above Copper Ridge, which is a lot
of medical stuff. But, apparently, the church
is moving
or whatever and abandoning the building or selling
the building or whatever they have there in
the, hand surgery clinic
that's currently down on
in Front Street
is looking to redevelop that
building into, their new
offices. So
lots of things going on in Garfield Township,
which is
one of the bigger townships here in
Traverse City area along with East Bay.
But, they they cover a lot of that
area that's
still city like, but not in the actual
city of Traverse City.
So and then, you know, of course, Chum's
Corners and
and as far as East Bay, all along,
what we used to call a miracle mile,
which is about three or four miles of
hotels and restaurants and state park and all
that.
So, anyway, let's get to the weather.
Mostly cloudy today with a high near 39.
West wind around five, becoming north in the
afternoon.
Tonight, 50% chance of showers,
and
it could be snow or rain,
based on the temperature of around 32.
Light and variable wind becoming five to ten
after midnight.
And tomorrow, 30% chance of showers mainly before
8AM.
Mostly cloudy with a high near 42. So
while we're getting closer to, meltdown weather,
I saw a forecast a while back that
said it was gonna be 60 by the
weekend, and,
that has been revised as you can tell
by this forecast.
Well, we'll catch you tomorrow,
for,
the Friday episode.
