...they’re a bunch of liberals, they put on an event for Beto when he was running for Gov. And created a beer to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I'm out on the that place.

Sherman is nothing but Oak Cliff North with tons of traffic issues. Tells me all I need to know.

I was actually there playing Bingo the night they unveiled it. Silly me thought they were making fun of her, wasn't until later I found out they were honoring her.

There are not many places in Texas that are not blowing up. New Braunfels and Georgetown were named fastest growing cities in the country at 50,000 and under. Everywhere you turn in Georgetown there are apartments and RV Parks being built - In my neck of the woods I am always getting mail and phone calls to buy my place. I saw a hay field come up for sale 3 miles down the road and called the realtor about the property. He told me they had cut it up into 10 acre plots and all that was left was 17 acres. For chits and grins I asked how much they wanted for it and was told $300K !!! Freeked me right out so I called an older couple across the highway from me and told them I was concerned about land being cut up and asked if they ever thought about selling would they give me right of first refusal so I could lock it up.

My only recent experience actually in Sherman was son's football game up there. The demographics seemed pretty poor to me. We were visiting team and outnumbered the Sherman home crowd 3 to 1. A resident told me that the school's don't have much parental involvement or support.

One more drop in the bucket making me think I'm going to have to sell my dream home, and move again.
The current values are not something I expected so quickly.
It's sad what has happened to North Texas. My wife and I are looking for our “last” home and the big question is where ? I’m worried that anywhere in north Texas is vulnerable for a big development

I grew up in Howe and graduated from there in 2001. Lamesa and City Limits were staples in my diet. It was a great place for me. I didn’t go back much after 2005. I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize it. I bet there’s still some really good people there.

It's nothing new. It's been that way all along. What comes next? In about 2039 the economy will crap out and all the businesses will move out of Sherman just like in the early 1980's. Grayson County has always been a "boom town". From WWII onward the next three or four decades all manner of manufacturing moved in and by 1990 it was almost all gone.
Pass the gravy.

There hasn’t been 20 lb strikers on the norm in a long long time. Overrated on big fish Mixed bag is good I used to catch them on regular basis back in the 80's on top waters, I used to also fish alot behind the damn when they let water out same time period. We would use large pencil poppers with #9 lead in them so we could throw to the Oklahoma side with 15 feet surf rods. They used to have a fenced off area so that was high as you can go, but it was a blast to hang a big one and walk him down the wall yelling "Fish On" Once I got into bass fishing around 2000 I went full into Bass Fishing and loved that lake for smallies Back when I was fishing for stripers we only wanted big ones, the bigger the better.

I had one few years ago that went 15, should have mounted him lol Now of days the guides take them out and target what they call box fish, they want to catch thier limits and go home. I used to target large stripers with large lures on the lake on top water on Texoma, and if they would release water we would target the behind the damn on Texoma. I would also sometime fish behind Whitney damn in the winter and catch trout at the bridge and walk up behind the damn and free spool them on the deep water pools up there. Al of this was back in late 70's and early 80's.

I have not, my father in law has a BBQ food truck right here in my parking lot so anytime I want good BBQ I just get it from him. His business partner that does the cooking is top notch. But the bill boards I see on 75 for that business do look really good.

Post up a name and I will eat there tomorrow . We need a butcher shop, the one in Durant also does deer processing. I dropped a buck off and picked up the meat that was thrown together from 3 differnt hunters!!! not going back

I don't think it's the type of butchery you're looking for though. We've had good results with Hess Meat Market in Munster, although a little out of the way, but they do a good job. This is also where my father in law gets all his meats for his bbq truck all are top quality. You can definitely taste the difference in bulk (SAMs) brisket vs the Hess briskets.
