Pepe and Chela's is one of the better places in Topeka to get Mexican food!

There were two schools that were considered for the National Landmark in this case: Monroe (the once "colored" school), and Sumner (the once "all-white" school). Sumner lost out in the late 1990's, I remember reading an article in The Topeka Capital Journal and it made me so sad; only one school could be picked and Monroe was in better shape. Sumner Elementary now sits empty, deteriorating, but there is hope. Sumner was added to the endangered list a few years ago and may (hopefully) once again become a national landmark!
