Hey Friends,

Sherman has been making moves lately — and this week's newsletter is proof. We're talking about a brand new city program that's changing how road repairs actually get done here, a stunning home sitting on a full acre inside a gated community between Sherman and Denison, a downtown shopping night you need to put on your calendar for this Saturday, and a lunch spot that's been quietly one of the best-kept secrets in Grayson County.

Oh — and we have something exciting coming up we want you to know about. 🎟️ On July 17th, Sherman Connect is sponsoring a FREE night at the ballpark with the Sherman Shadowcats! Free admission, live baseball, and fireworks after the game. More details are coming soon — but go ahead and mark your calendar now. You won't want to miss this one.

Here's What We're Connecting You to This Week!

Sherman Is Finally Fixing Its Roads — The Right Way

Instagram post

If you've lived here for more than five minutes, you know road conditions are the number one complaint in Sherman. Patched here, crumbling there, and somehow the same streets just keep getting worse.

That's starting to change.

The city just launched One Clean Sherman — and it's not your typical "send a crew, patch a pothole, move on" approach. This program tackles entire neighborhoods at once. We're talking:

🗑️ Dumpsters brought directly to residents so they can clear out junk and debris 🚗 Abandoned vehicles removed from the neighborhood 🏚️ Code violations addressed before the paving crews ever show up 🛣️ Road repairs that come last — after the neighborhood is already clean

City leaders say the goal is simple: when crews leave, the whole neighborhood should feel different. Not just one block. The entire area.

That's a different way of thinking about infrastructure — and honestly, it's the kind of thing that makes a real difference in how a community feels to live in day to day.

Sherman's been growing fast. Programs like this are what make sure that growth actually improves life for the people already here, not just the people moving in.

Keep an eye on your neighborhood. Yours might be next. 👀

This week's Business Spotlight is on Sage Cafe — and if you've never been, consider this your sign to change that.

Tucked just off the square at 210 W. Houston Street in downtown Sherman, Sage Cafe is a true scratch-made kitchen — and that's not marketing language, that's literally how Chef Robert runs the place. 🍽️ Everything on the menu is made from scratch, including the chips, the slow-cooked brisket, and even the cured meats (bacon, pastrami, corned beef — all naturally nitrate-free because they make it themselves). The Brisket Grilled Cheese alone is worth the trip. The atmosphere is warm, modern rustic, and the staff is the kind you actually recognize when you walk in. They're open Monday through Friday, 11 AM to 2:30 PM — the perfect lunch spot whether you're working downtown or just need a midday reset. Sherman is lucky to have them. 🥪
