Downtown Traverse City from Radio Centre

A Rooftop View from Radio Centre

This camera is mounted high atop Radio Centre, the downtown building that houses WTCM, WKLT, The Rock Station, and their sister stations. Its elevated, fixed vantage takes in a full street corner of the city centre, with an on-screen panel showing current local conditions.

Downtown Streets and Architecture

In the foreground, marked crosswalks, traffic islands and street lamps frame a busy intersection where cars, delivery vans and pedestrians come and go. A stately red-brick block with a green roofline rises on the left, while restored brick storefronts and modern townhouses line the right side of the scene.

The Waterfront of West Grand Traverse Bay

Beyond the rooftops, the tree-lined bayfront parkway leads to the open water of West Grand Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. The wooded far shore closes the horizon, linking the compact downtown to the lakeside setting that defines this northern Michigan town.
