Clean-up day: A Sparkling Success!

Trucks literally lined 20th street on Saturday, June 2, as we all pitched in to clear out and clean up. Every year, this day is a shining example of how this neighborhood works: Friends help friends. It's how we finish off last year's business ... and when we start in on summer projects!

We're All A-Bloom

Thanks to Bret and Kathy McFarlin, Sherman Hill is coming up flowers!

The McFarlins took our requests for flowers, combined them and placed the Sherman Hill order. And one Saturday morning, while some of us were still snoozing, they delivered flats of flowers in full bloom. As we thank these dear friends of Sherman Hill, we also recognize the amount of time they dedicate to our neighborhood.

What Impact Will The MLK Project Have On Sherman Hill?

Come hear for yourself. City manager Eric Anderson will discuss the impact that street projects will have on our neighborhood. Do join us for this important meeting!
