Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, September 25, 2025. Let’s start with the latest community news and events, and, as always, a touch of Traverse City charm.Traverse City is waking up to an energetic Thursday with plenty happening in the heart of downtown and beyond. Northwestern Michigan College continues to see record enrollment, welcoming over 200 new students this semester.

If you have students in your life, expect even more buzz on campus as fall classes ramp up.Moving through downtown, folks are talking about the big road project on Griffin Street. Construction between Pine and S. Union Streets is underway, with the city aiming for completion by Halloween. It means detours and closed sidewalks, so keep an eye out and plan extra travel time in that neighborhood.

Officials remind everyone to call animal control if you find a bat indoors and to keep pets’ rabies vaccinations up to date.Turning to local developments, Boardman Lake has been the source of some odors in recent weeks, but Sara Lee—the bakery on Lake Street—says normal operations should resume soon. Nearby residents and business owners can look forward to fresh air returning as the company promises solutions are on the way.Traverse City is still reacting to the shocking events of last Saturday at Walmart, where 11 people were injured in a stabbing. The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office reports the suspect is in custody and all victims are being cared for at Munson Medical Center. The sheriff stressed these were random acts and praised a quick-thinking citizen for aiding in the arrest. The community continues to rally behind those affected, with local blood drives and support efforts underway.On a brighter note, this week marks Up North Pride Week, running through Saturday. Celebrate diversity all over town with events ranging from art walks and music to community talks. It’s a chance to show support and connect with neighbors.For those looking for things to do today, start your morning with the Great Lakes, Great Plants Symposium at the Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park.
