00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,439
Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is Cup of
2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:08,000
Traverse City for the 12/12/2025.
3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,820
I'm Mike.
4
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,279
And today, I'm gonna start a little different.
5
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:13,619
I have a news story that came across
6
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:16,714
my desk here, and I think it's pretty,
7
00:00:17,114 --> 00:00:19,835
interesting, especially for those of you that live
8
00:00:19,835 --> 00:00:22,175
a little further out from Traverse City.
9
00:00:23,434 --> 00:00:25,594
So there's gonna be a new hotel or
10
00:00:25,594 --> 00:00:26,654
at least it's proposed
11
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:28,880
at the Cherry Capital Airport.
12
00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:31,820
And the idea with that one is is,
13
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:33,359
first off, they're gonna have
14
00:00:34,219 --> 00:00:35,920
a rooftop bar overlooking
15
00:00:36,219 --> 00:00:36,719
the
16
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:40,534
runways and and ramps and whatnot at the
17
00:00:40,534 --> 00:00:42,934
airport, which is kinda cool. They wanna locate
18
00:00:42,934 --> 00:00:46,074
it kinda near the employee parking lot. And,
19
00:00:47,094 --> 00:00:49,434
basically, it's gonna be an 89 room
20
00:00:50,295 --> 00:00:50,795
hotel.
21
00:00:51,335 --> 00:00:51,835
And
22
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,560
the the purpose of it or, you know,
23
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440
obviously, make money. But, the purpose of it,
24
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,160
would be for people that, you know, come
25
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,399
in from further out that have a really
26
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,799
early morning flight. It'd be a handy spot,
27
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,060
and I'm sure there's gonna be parking involved
28
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,055
and all that. But,
29
00:01:08,614 --> 00:01:11,114
yeah, they proposed it to the airport authority
30
00:01:11,174 --> 00:01:12,155
zoning board
31
00:01:12,694 --> 00:01:13,515
last night
32
00:01:13,814 --> 00:01:16,614
and or yesterday, I guess, probably during the
33
00:01:16,614 --> 00:01:17,114
day.
34
00:01:17,814 --> 00:01:20,790
But, yeah, 89 units could have an event
35
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:23,450
space, rooftop bar overlooking the runway,
36
00:01:23,909 --> 00:01:26,870
and, you know, it'd be, addressing a long
37
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:28,890
standing demand for travelers,
38
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:30,890
for accommodations
39
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:32,090
at the airport.
40
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:35,465
So that's kinda kinda cool for for those
41
00:01:35,465 --> 00:01:36,444
of you that
42
00:01:37,224 --> 00:01:39,385
have to travel to Traverse City to fly
43
00:01:39,385 --> 00:01:39,885
out,
44
00:01:40,584 --> 00:01:42,505
you know, which is a lot of, lot
45
00:01:42,505 --> 00:01:44,045
of places around here.
46
00:01:44,825 --> 00:01:46,584
I'm lucky I'm a mile and a half
47
00:01:46,584 --> 00:01:48,765
from the terminal, so not a big deal.
48
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:51,890
But, yeah, I just thought that was extremely
49
00:01:52,109 --> 00:01:54,590
interesting. I'll have a link in the show
50
00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:57,569
notes over at cuptraverscity.com.
51
00:01:58,509 --> 00:02:01,469
And let's see. Oh, yeah. Last night you
52
00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:04,209
know, more aviation relay. This isn't an aviation
53
00:02:04,430 --> 00:02:04,965
show, but,
54
00:02:06,164 --> 00:02:06,984
I had the
55
00:02:07,524 --> 00:02:09,224
holiday party for
56
00:02:09,925 --> 00:02:11,944
the experimental aircraft association
57
00:02:12,485 --> 00:02:15,205
chapter two three four last night over at
58
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:15,705
Sledders,
59
00:02:16,324 --> 00:02:18,185
and it was very well attended.
60
00:02:18,485 --> 00:02:21,050
And, yeah, just really great to get together
61
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:22,510
with a bunch of good people
62
00:02:23,129 --> 00:02:24,830
and and all that good stuff.
63
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,169
Anyway, let's get to the weather for the
64
00:02:28,169 --> 00:02:28,669

Looks like we could get even two inches
