A Lot in the Works Around Traverse City | Week of December 12, 2025

On this week's Currently, we're diving into a full slate of updates on many ongoing local issues. Support for Currently comes from West Shore Bank, committed to the well-being of our community, along with Old Town Playhouse, where community comes together in downtown Traverse City. Support also comes from The Coin Slot Arcade Bar in Traverse City — a chill spot to unwind with pinball, drinks, and friends. In this OG "Christal and Beth" show, Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) runs us through a proposed campus for Traverse City Light & Power, what's happening with familiar downtown landmarks like the Carnegie Building, the Bijou, and the CityOpera House, plus Camp Greilick reopening to the public, local park grant news, and quick hits on airport-related projects, including a hotel update and the return of the Blue Angels. ​ "Currently" is a Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
