Monument, located North off i25 from Colorado Springs, is a little boring rich town with nothing to do. Because the inflow of money, we spend them on recreational drugs and liquor to pass the time. A key spot to do this is the always legendary Mount.Herman. Monument is honestly a pretty ugly town in terms of architecture and cultural relevance. However the gorgeous Colorado landscape of the Rocky Mountains facing you can easily make up for it. Monument has 2 high schools; Lewis Palmer and Palmer Ridge, which make up District 38. District 38 and District 20 (DCC down the road) are some of the highest funded Public Schools in Colorado based on state policies of Property Tax and High Test Scores. As hard to believe as that sounds, it feels as if the people running these schools spend most of the budget they do have on petty drug raids instead of helping our faculty and teachers more when they really need it. But they still kick ass anyway. Like every small town in America you have your Walmart and your usual chain food places like McDonald's or Taco Bell. It's unfortunate the past 15+ years I have noticed Corporate Chains run Local Resturants and Businesses into the ground which is what you're seeing everywhere in America and the rest of the world for that matter. Demographics Monument is atleast 90% white. From my personal observation people look of mostly German, Nordic, or Irish decent. Although we cherish our Mexican food but it's honestly pretty shit.
Monument, the town of people trying to be someone they're not.
