Profiting from the Peak
Colorado Springs, Colorado, has long profited from Pikes Peak
and built an urban infrastructure to sustain that relationship. In
Profiting from the Peak , geographer John Harner surveys
the events and socioeconomic conditions that formed the city,
analyzing the built landscape to offer insight into the origins of
its urban forms and spatial layout, focusing particularly on
historic downtown architecture and public spaces. He examines the
cultural values that have come to define the city, showing how
military and other institutions, tourism, political and economic
conditions, cultural movements, key individual actors, and
administrative policies have created a singular urban
personality.
Capital accumulation has been a defining theme of Colorado
Springs from its very beginning, with enormous profits generated
from regional industrialization, railroads, land sales, water
appropriation, and extraction of coal and gold. These conditions
and its setting in the Rocky Mountain West formed a
libertarian-oriented, limited governance philosophy.
This persistent prioritization of liberty at the heart of Colorado
Springs's identity, specifically the freedom to conduct business
and generate profits in a relatively unconstrained setting, has
directed the urban sprawl of the built landscape and molded the
region's political culture. Profiting from the Peak will
be of interest to historical and urban geographers, historians of
Colorado and the American West, and anyone seeking a deeper
understanding of the cultural identity of Colorado Springs.

Do Pennies Still Make Sense? Colorado Springs Experts Give Their Two Cents
\"An America without any cents would make a lot of sense, according to some who work in the monetary sector...Ceasing U.S. Mint production of the cent and halting distribution in the market is one of many proposals President Donald Trump has floated in recent weeks [2025] in his quest to reduce 'wasteful spending' and save taxpayers' money. The primary driver is that the cost outweighs the worth. 'We’re at a point where 1 cent costs 3.7 cents to make,' said Caroline Turco, assistant curator at The Money Museum, which is housed inside the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs.\" (Gazette (Colorado Springs, CO)) Learn why making pennies costs more than they’re worth.
