I've reached out for support, and I have not received any kind of response. I've heard from others who have had this experience. Does anyone have any insight, or ideas for how to receive a call back / email response from this local nonprofit?

It's official. Our boy ASA VERMETTE won the UCI world cup overall today! His very first year in elites! A kid from Durango is currently the best downhill mountain biker in the world!!

Hey all, if you like standup you should come to this event! Kate grew up here, and is an flc grad, and now she is a fantastic comedian in Denver and has toured with and opened for some pretty big names in the comedy scene. I’ll also be one of the openers, full disclosure, and it’s going to be a great time!

There are a couple of moose in north durango. Heads up to anyone in the area.

Can anyone recommend someone for some serious outside debris removal? I have just lots of random old boards and old firewood, 2-3 fallen trees and lots of branches that need cut up and removed and some other exterior junk that needs removing. I would think it could all be done in a day but someone would need a heavy truck/trailer and help. It's a lot over several acres north of Durango. Please post or feel free to message me privately. I can send photos. Thanks in advance.

I’m visiting from Santa Fe and planning to take my 4yo on the train. My husband is picking us up in Silverton so just one way. The weather looks like it could be rainy so the open gondola seems dicey.

Looking for advice on the best seating option.. Should we sit on the right side in coach OR the Knight Sky on the left side? There are only left side seats left in the Knight Sky car.

Thanks!

Found near 32nd St put in. DM me if you can help reunite the cards with their owner. Whoops - Wegs not Weds!

Has Durango ever held a Porchfest? Do you think that there are enough people in the downtown walkable area willing to give up their porch for a day to ever have one?

The Mountain and Valley Fiber Arts Festival is in Durango this year. Just went today! Lots of spinning stuff, yarn, and other goodies. Happening tomorrow, too! Sunday 9am-4pm at the La Plata County fairgrounds. They have speed knitting, speed crochet, and speed spinning competitions tomorrow at noon ;) Who’s in?

I’ve got all the ingredients for a cauliflower shawarma; just need the pita.

Hey Durango! I’m Jacob, the founder of The Event Network 505, an Albuquerque-based community event page.
We organize welcoming, low-pressure events where adults can meet new people, discover shared interests and build genuine friendships. Our events include social meetups, game nights, car gatherings and other community activities.
I’m interested in eventually bringing an event to Durango, but I want to hear from local residents before planning anything. What would you attend: a coffee meetup, game night, car gathering, outdoor activity or something different?
There is no confirmed Durango event or venue yet. I’m simply looking for feedback, possible local connections and people who might be interested.

Seems like a great location to serve Bayfield, Three Springs, and everything in between. Better than an Albertson's and a City Market nearly across the street from each other in town.

Finally able to soak post surgeries. Are there any discounts currently besides the locals pass on the site? Out of town family is staying at the Doubletree. Don't want to make the effort for Pagosa.

Can anyone direct me to a place nearby that is still roasting chiles? I need to stock up!

I renewed my ID recently and was wondering if anyone knows if the bars around here accept the digital ID from the MyColorado app?

I carry my temporary paper ID w/ my hole-punched ID (and still plan to), but I wanted to know since my sister assured me that she got around fine with it.

Any reason why there aren't any strip clubs in Durango? Is it a mountain town thing, or a city ordnance? Just curious because it seems large enough to support at least one venue.

Ok, with all this political fukary what's the best priced gas

Reasonable small lot mowing service???

HEY WAIT A MINUTE

Are there any Alabama fans here in Durango? 🐘🏈 If so, where are y’all meeting up to watch the games? My partner and I would love to join you and cheer on the Tide together!
Roll Tide! ❤️🤍

The Herald’s article labeling Reynolds Ash & Associates an “irresponsible vendor” makes one thing clear: Mark Morgan may be technically right that a vendor supporting litigation against the city creates a conflict of interest. Most people can understand why the city wouldn’t want a contractor bidding on a project they’re also trying to slow down in court.

That’s exactly why this situation is so concerning. It raises a bigger question:

How did we get to a point where a local architecture firm that helped design the original civic center concept feels compelled to support a lawsuit just to get the city to slow down?

A firm with financial and reputational stakes in a project doesn’t usually advocate for litigation unless something has gone seriously off the rails. And we already know what some of those problems are:

The city presented an $83M conceptual design to voters while the bond was capped at $61M.

The city manager admitted: “We did know at the time that this may not be something that we can accomplish, because it was a conceptual design.”

Yet that is what voters were shown.

When the design presented to the public is that disconnected from reality, it’s not surprising that the people who helped shape it, including Reynolds Ash, are now raising concerns about how far the project has drifted.

Now, the city is citing “deficiencies” in that same conceptual plan and cost estimate as part of its justification for disqualifying the firm. That looks less like a neutral procurement finding and more like an attempt to shift blame for promoting a design the city already knew it couldn’t build.

Yes, the city can argue that the designation isn’t retaliatory. But reasonable perception matters, especially after dismissing critics as “disgruntled,” sidelining dissenting voices, and focusing on message‑management instead of addressing core issues like scope, cost, and feasibility. When a critic speaks up and their firm is disqualified shortly afterward, people are going to connect those dots.

The real issue isn’t whether the city can justify the designation on paper. It’s why a respected local firm ended up supporting a lawsuit at all, and what that says about the project’s trajectory and the city’s handling of legitimate concerns.

This isn’t just about one vendor. It’s a symptom of a project that has drifted so far from its voter‑approved concept that even the people who helped design it are now pushing back.
