🚨 DATA CENTER PROPOSED NEAR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD 🚨
A large industrial data center is being fast-tracked near Garden of the Gods Rd (Project Ta**us – 1565 High Tech Way).
This is the SAME site where residents previously endured years of nonstop noise from a Bitcoin mining operation.
⚠️ What’s coming:
• 24/7 industrial noise (up to 85–100 decibels)
• Massive water consumption
• Increased energy demand (higher costs?)
• Generators & cooling equipment near homes
Residents described the previous operation as a “freight train running 24/7.”

🎄 Ho ho ho… this holiday season is about community. 🎄
It’s about neighbors helping neighbors —
and small businesses that open their doors
not just for customers, but for people.
Stephanie and Tyler Calvert of Calvert’s Mini Market in Palmer Lake didn’t ask for attention. They simply stood by their neighbors when it mattered most.

The handcrafted appreciation plaque featured in this vid was created by Andrew Morton, owner of Pikes Perk Coffee Roasters — a reminder that community support often shows up through skill, generosity, and heart.

When the world feels a little heavy, Trina Shook and the team at Monumental Med Spa remind us that caring for a community also means restoring balance.

Just down the road, you’ll also find Jarrito Loco, owned by Angel and Angie Jimenez. They supported their community by opening their doors for fundraisers and bringing people together.
🎁 This holiday season, Jarrito Loco is offering jarritos — traditional clay vessels used for drinks — a meaningful and unique gift rooted in culture and tradition.

Most businesses don’t stick their necks out.
But these did.
Special thanks to Chef Gene Kalesti for organizing this appreciation and reminding us to give back to those who continue to face threats and retaliation, yet still stand for their neighbors — embodying the true spirit of the holiday season and what it means to be Americans who value community and constitutional rights.
🎄 Especially this season, remember to shop local.
Because of people like these, Palmer Lake has a very bright future ahead — built on respect, decency, and the spirit of the holidays all year long.
🦌 Here’s to a beaver-free holiday season.
Santa’s partial to reindeer, himself.
✨ Happy Holidays, Tri-Lakes — and especially the citizens of Palmer Lake, whose future looks very bright!
