COTC - 7 Apr 2026 - Logans Landing East

1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,600
Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is your cup

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,160
of Traverse City for the 04/07/2026.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,099
I'm Mike. I have my coffee.

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:12,019
My throat is clear,

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,434
so hopefully, I won't, be hacking in your

6
00:00:15,434 --> 00:00:15,934
face

7
00:00:16,795 --> 00:00:18,635
or in your ears, I guess, would be

8
00:00:18,635 --> 00:00:19,375
more appropriate.

9
00:00:20,554 --> 00:00:21,855
So let's see.

10
00:00:22,875 --> 00:00:25,054
News of the day, shorts brewing

11
00:00:25,675 --> 00:00:26,574
and keen

12
00:00:27,469 --> 00:00:29,969
plan new future for Logan's Landing.

13
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:32,829
What that means is there's going to be

14
00:00:32,829 --> 00:00:34,130
a Shorts Brewing,

15
00:00:36,109 --> 00:00:36,609
taproom

16
00:00:37,469 --> 00:00:38,189
at the,

17
00:00:38,829 --> 00:00:42,024
East Side Of Logan's Landing, you know, next

18
00:00:42,024 --> 00:00:44,125
to Vince's Jewelers there where

19
00:00:44,664 --> 00:00:46,664
some of the, old place. The original,

20
00:00:47,065 --> 00:00:48,844
restaurant there was the Wannigan,

21
00:00:49,304 --> 00:00:51,645
and then, it was Jose Babushka's.

22
00:00:52,265 --> 00:00:52,765
And

23
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:54,909
and I think the last

24
00:00:55,370 --> 00:00:56,329
one was,

25
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:59,469
I forget what it was. Mexican place.

26
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:01,630
Anyway,

27
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:06,144
Tim Paulman of KEEM Technical Solutions and Solutions

28
00:01:06,444 --> 00:01:09,984
and Scott Newman Bale of Short's Brewing Company

29
00:01:10,045 --> 00:01:12,704
sat down and purchased the entire

30
00:01:13,405 --> 00:01:15,344
site, a deal they finalized

31
00:01:16,045 --> 00:01:16,864
last month.

32
00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:20,619
Partners now own the entire East Side of

33
00:01:20,619 --> 00:01:23,579
Logan's Landing, including the parking area. Shorts Brewing

34
00:01:23,579 --> 00:01:26,219
Company is planning to use about 10,000 square

35
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:27,819
feet of the 16,000

36
00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:28,319
foot

37
00:01:28,619 --> 00:01:29,119
site,

38
00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:30,125
including

39
00:01:30,505 --> 00:01:32,344
16 or 1,600

40
00:01:32,344 --> 00:01:33,645
square foot deck.

41
00:01:34,025 --> 00:01:37,885
Multiple existing tenants included including Vince's Jewelers

42
00:01:38,505 --> 00:01:40,825
will stay for now in the remaining space

43
00:01:40,825 --> 00:01:43,245
with room to accommodate future uses.

44
00:01:44,189 --> 00:01:46,049
So, Vince or Vince

45
00:01:46,750 --> 00:01:47,250
Armeron,

46
00:01:47,629 --> 00:01:49,549
I don't know how to pronounce his last

47
00:01:49,549 --> 00:01:50,930
name. He's a friend of mine.

48
00:01:51,549 --> 00:01:52,849
I always call him Vinny.

49
00:01:53,549 --> 00:01:53,789
But,

50
00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:57,549
anyway, he owned he owns the jewelry store,

51
00:01:57,549 --> 00:01:59,504
and he sold log Logan's Landing

52
00:02:01,024 --> 00:02:03,204
East after owning it for over a decade.

53
00:02:03,344 --> 00:02:04,164
He had

54
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:08,084
a auction house there in the old restaurant

55
00:02:08,465 --> 00:02:10,884
space. They're right up close to

56
00:02:11,425 --> 00:02:14,004
or closest to South Airport Road,

57
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:15,520
But,

58
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,819
he also said, the right people bought it.

59
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,039
This is the best thing that ever happened

60
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:22,659
to this property. We're going

61
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,360
we're not going anywhere. We signed a great

62
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,860
lease and are looking forward to their endeavors

63
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,580
here.

64
00:02:29,134 --> 00:02:31,215
We have the dream team now. So we

65
00:02:31,215 --> 00:02:34,034
have Vince's Jewelers is still there. Still great.

66
00:02:34,814 --> 00:02:36,275
Go ahead and say hi to Vinny.

67
00:02:38,254 --> 00:02:38,754
Anyway,

68
00:02:40,254 --> 00:02:41,234
so that'll be

69
00:02:41,534 --> 00:02:42,034
interesting.

70
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:44,400
Keen's also,

71
00:02:45,019 --> 00:02:45,519
developing

72
00:02:46,379 --> 00:02:48,939
a thing called the Mill District property on

73
00:02:48,939 --> 00:02:52,060
Woodmere Avenue. I don't know exactly where that

74
00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:52,699
is, but,

75
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,680
I'm sure that that'll be kind of fun.

76
00:02:55,865 --> 00:02:57,705
Of course now they got the Boardman Loop

77
00:02:57,705 --> 00:03:00,044
Trail, you know, that big bridge going across

78
00:03:00,185 --> 00:03:02,044
on the West Side Of Logan's

79
00:03:02,985 --> 00:03:04,685
and it just sounds

80
00:03:05,625 --> 00:03:07,544
sounds like a great place and a great

81
00:03:07,544 --> 00:03:10,504
thing to resurrect that building. You're gonna have

82
00:03:10,504 --> 00:03:11,724
a little bit of

83
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,360
zoning issues to work through because they really

84
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,319
can't expand the footprint of the place because

85
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:19,139
it doesn't

86
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,860
conform anymore to the, zoning

87
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,819
and setbacks and all that stuff. So

88
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,194
you gotta be a little careful about that,

89
00:03:27,194 --> 00:03:29,275
but it sounds like they've got a good

90
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:29,775
plan.

91
00:03:30,314 --> 00:03:32,875
And it'll be really cool to see that

92
00:03:32,875 --> 00:03:33,375
area,

93
00:03:34,555 --> 00:03:37,114
get revitalized a bit. Although, you know, it's

94
00:03:37,114 --> 00:03:37,614
still

95
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:38,759
reasonably,

96
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:41,699
okay, you know. But there's a couple of

97
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:42,439
big spaces

98
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:44,599
in there. Of course, Vince's,

99
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:46,759
the old restaurant,

100
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,780
the, and then there was on the other

101
00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:52,180
side, a kids clothing store way back in

102
00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:53,894
the day. I don't know what's in there

103
00:03:53,894 --> 00:03:55,594
right now, but kind of a pyramid

104
00:03:55,894 --> 00:03:56,715
sort of building.

105
00:03:58,215 --> 00:04:00,614
A little bit further to the north side

106
00:04:00,614 --> 00:04:02,534
of the property or north side of the

107
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:04,474
building. I guess it's one big building

108
00:04:05,094 --> 00:04:06,234
or it's all connected

109
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:09,349
and, kinda cool. There's a bridge going over

110
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:11,270
to the East Side. I don't know too

111
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:13,030
much of what's going on or I mean

112
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:14,789
the West Side. I don't know too much

113
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:16,490
what's going on at Logan's

114
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:17,930
West but,

115
00:04:18,470 --> 00:04:21,430
you know, there was a secondhand store there

116
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:21,930
and

117
00:04:23,454 --> 00:04:25,475
used to be another restaurant there,

118
00:04:27,615 --> 00:04:30,735
sushi place or Chinese place or a little

119
00:04:30,735 --> 00:04:32,595
bit of both. Oriental, anyway.

120
00:04:34,949 --> 00:04:37,110
Always forget the name of all those things.

121
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,290
But, yeah. I remember the wannigan

122
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:41,350
back in the day. When I was in

123
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:42,089
high school,

124
00:04:43,829 --> 00:04:44,889
I worked for,

125
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:46,810
Shelby,

126
00:04:47,444 --> 00:04:50,644
who owned Mr. Steak over there on East

127
00:04:51,044 --> 00:04:54,165
by East Bay, Tom's now. It was Giant

128
00:04:54,165 --> 00:04:54,665
Way

129
00:04:55,285 --> 00:04:56,024
at the time.

130
00:04:56,644 --> 00:04:57,144
And,

131
00:04:58,245 --> 00:04:58,745
that

132
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:03,569
that restaurant group also owned the one again.

133
00:05:03,629 --> 00:05:05,629
And when they decided they were gonna close

134
00:05:05,629 --> 00:05:07,870
the one again and for a short time,

135
00:05:07,870 --> 00:05:09,569
that became a mister steak.

136
00:05:10,669 --> 00:05:11,490
And then again,

137
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:13,089
Jose Babushka's

138
00:05:13,629 --> 00:05:14,129
and,

139
00:05:15,355 --> 00:05:17,514
gosh. I just I can't remember the Mexican

140
00:05:17,514 --> 00:05:19,675
place that was in there last before,

141
00:05:20,475 --> 00:05:22,014
before Vince bought it

142
00:05:22,395 --> 00:05:25,055
ten, twelve years ago, something like that. But,

143
00:05:25,435 --> 00:05:27,615
anyway, it's gonna be cool to see

144
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,479
Logan's Landing and, kinda cool that shorts is

145
00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:33,979
gonna have a presence here in town. So

146
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:36,680
that's great. Lots of other things going a

147
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,139
lot, on that corridor.

148
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,779
So, you know, things that might be changing.

149
00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:43,985
Let's see. Weather today,

150
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:48,204
20% chance of snow showers before 11AM. Although,

151
00:05:48,204 --> 00:05:49,805
I'm looking out the window right now. It

152
00:05:49,805 --> 00:05:52,204
looks kinda sunny. So I don't know if

153
00:05:52,204 --> 00:05:53,904
that's accurate or not.

154
00:05:55,479 --> 00:05:57,819
Mostly sunny with a high near 35.

155
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,699
Northwest wind around five miles per hour.

156
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,300
Tonight mostly clear with a low around 24.

157
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:07,000
Calm wind becoming south around five miles per

158
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,060
hour after midnight.

159
00:06:08,805 --> 00:06:12,185
And tomorrow, a slight chance of snow showers,

160
00:06:12,644 --> 00:06:15,764
mixing with rain after 11AM and gradually ending

161
00:06:15,764 --> 00:06:19,225
increasing clouds and high near 52 south wind

162
00:06:19,365 --> 00:06:21,685
10 to 15 miles per hour with gusts

163
00:06:21,685 --> 00:06:22,745
as high as 30.

164
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,900
Chance of precipitation

165
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:25,740
is 20%.

166
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:29,800
So I almost made it without coughing. I

167
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,060
would have to hit my cough button here.

168
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,259
You didn't hear that because I edited out.

169
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,300
Anyway,

170
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,660
catch it tomorrow.
