The "no photos allowed" steak on Sutter Street

_{Was this e-mail shared with you? Sign up here.}

It is always a proud moment when one of our own makes a splash on the national stage, especially when they’re still in high school. This week, we’re celebrating a Folsom sophomore who took her business idea all the way to a national pitch competition and came home a winner.

It is that kind of local talent and drive that makes our community so special. We’ve also got the latest on the major bridge construction coming to Rancho Cordova, which is set to finally bridge the gap over Highway 50. It’s a busy week for progress and local wins, and we’re happy to share it all with you.

If your idea of a perfect evening involves a USDA Prime ribeye, a dirty martini with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives, and a setting that somehow manages to feel both elegant and genuinely warm, Sutter Street Steakhouse has been waiting for you. Tucked inside

Folsom's beautifully renovated Electric Building, this downtown gem from the award-winning team behind Chico's 5th Street Steakhouse draws regulars who keep coming back for anniversaries, proposals, and the kind of steak that makes people forget to take photos.

Tucked into Historic Folsom's Sutter Street, Planet Earth Rising is the kind of shop that stops you mid-browse. The selection runs deep: rough minerals, fossils, tumbled stones, crystal singing bowls, and specialty tools that serious practitioners won't find anywhere else in the Sacramento area.

Families feel welcome, regulars bring friends, and first-timers tend to lose track of time. Bonus: they have their own parking lot, which in this part of town is genuinely worth mentioning.

The Gist: St. Francis High School sophomore Gemma Frisch and teammate Alexandra Wallace placed second runner-up in a national business pitch competition hosted by NAWBO and Junior Achievement of Sacramento. Their app, Specialized Care for Kids, connects families with sitters trained to handle specialized care needs.

Why It Matters: Frisch is a Folsom resident bringing home national recognition while still in her sophomore year.

The Gist: Construction on a new pedestrian and bike overcrossing on Zinfandel Drive is set to begin this summer, finally linking the two sides of Rancho Cordova divided by Highway 50. The tied-arch bridge will also connect to nearby light rail stations on Folsom Boulevard.

Why It Matters: The crossing improves walkability and safety for residents on both sides of the freeway, and a $1.4 million art walk will make it a community landmark too.
