“As of today, the Saginaw location will be temporarily closed. We are working on improvements to serve you better. Our re-opening date is yet-to-be-determined, so we will update via email as the project progresses. See you soon,” the email states. “In the mean time, please visit one of our nearby UNO locations.”

A new Dollar General store with expanded product offerings opened this week on Bay City’s West Side.

Housing development planned for Pinconning’s former ‘Northern Tube’ site
More than a year has passed since employees at Pinconning’s Advanced Vehicle Assemblies, known locally as Tubular Metal Systems or “Northern Tube,” walked out of the business for the last time.
Since then, the buildings have sat vacant, the 14 acres of unused property a constant reminder of what once was for the city of now fewer than 1,200 residents in northern Bay County.
New Bay City Mexican steak house aims to offer quality dishes, experience
Wood-fire grilled dishes, Jarritos Mexican Soda cocktails and a gaming room for children are a few of the things that set a new Mexican restaurant apart from the rest.
Krazy Juan Mexican Steak House, 110 Uptown Drive, had a ribbon cutting ceremony on Nov. 21.
While the restaurant is owned by the same family who owns Coco Loco in Bay City and Saginaw, front of house manager Raudel Costilla said customers should expect a more upscale experience at Krazy Juan.
“The place doesn’t really fit the vibe for a regular Mexican restaurant, so that’s where the steak house part comes in,” Costilla said. “It’s a unique concept; you’re not going to find something like this within at least a 50-mile radius.”
