Traverse City Downtown Webcam

You’ll probably feel inclined to move on quite rapidly to something a little more fascinating if you join this live feed during the night hours in Michigan. It definitely doesn’t classify as exciting when it’s dark. Wind the cam back a few hours or come back to take a look in daylight and you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise.

Traverse City stands on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay which is part of the second largest natural body of water in the US, Lake Michigan. Check out the feed during the daytime and you’ll discover that the daily humdrum of vehicles or the builder’s yard, as tidy as it may be, don’t detract from the scenic beauty of the lake behind them. Fair play to RadioCentreTC in Downtown Traverse City, they got the cam focus spot on.

Traverse City was first settled in the mid-19th century. That’s an era when town planners were probably not at their most innovative as they just wanted to get the job done. As with most urbanisations that were developed back then, linear roads and blocks of buildings were the order of the day and they pretty much still are. That may seem somewhat mundane when compared to European towns and cities with nuclei of winding cobbled streets dating back to medieval times at their heart, but in this case it’s not. Anyone living or working in Downtown Traverse City with this view from their home or office window should be grateful to those town planners and builders.  Discount the squareness because view-wise, they totally hit the nail on the head.
