I was born in Monmouth on May 24th 1969. I have no memories from there as i moved to Florida 2 months after i was born.

It’s sad that Monmouth is losing population, I think

You'd think the narrator would learn how to pronounce the dorm names at MC and to get the Monmouth Trust & Savings Bank right!

Mi novia nació y vivió en este pueblo hasta los 15 años y me dice que es uno de los pueblos mas aburridos del planeta y probablemente del universo.
