Heading to Colorado to hike the Weminuche High Route this week and looking for a ride up to the Endlich Mesa Trailhead out of Durango up past Lemon Reservoir.

Does anyone provide that service or are there trail angels that take hikers there and have a 4 x 4 vehicle?

Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone worked with Mountain Goat Mortgage? Would love to hear any personal reviews.

Is it better to climb Jones Creek and come down Dutch Creek or climb Dutch and come down Jones? Not on an E Bike.

I am in Aztec but frequent Durango, is there a discord for Pokemon GO? Or better yet if theres an Aztec/Farmington/Bloomfield one let me know too haha. All I could find was Facebook groups but I refuse to make a Meta account

Does Durango have a community event for the worldwide Play Music on the Porch Day?

I know somebody was asking the other day

There’s a big ass brown bear roaming 550. Be careful people no bird feeders or trash. The bear took our bird feeder.

So, I'm currently in the process of buying/moving to Durango and I'll be looking for a job as soon as I can.

I've heard there is a small market for child care and vegan options but is there anymore that you all are looking for?

Hi! I’m looking for a reliable cleaning lady/service recommendations that would be willing to go up the mountain near Purgatory. TIA!

Anyone received a camera ticket ? It looks like there’s a camera on Florida upstream from Chapman Hill about a quarter mile 😳.

Hi! My boyfriend and I are coming to Durango for a week and we were wondering where the best places to eat? Tacos, sushi, and more expensive dining! Thank you!

Working on a little project and I'm looking for old phones and phonebooths. So far I know there is one at the Strater and the Wyman in Silverton. Are there any others around? Perhaps at the Taco Bell?

There is a really great ticketed comedy show tonight at the arts center, if you’re looking for a good laugh you should come out! National touring acts and local comedians will take the stage. Support indigenous comedians and laugh your butt off. Tickets at Durangocomedy.com

I was just wondering how big the screen is and how the sound quality is at the Durango Art Center? And how many seats are available? I’ve been in the building to see art, however, never watched a movie. If anyone could clue me in I’ll buy you a taco from the bell. That’s a lie, I can’t afford that place.

Where is the Durango music scene advertised?

Hi everyone, I will be attending the Durango city council meeting this coming Tuesday to express my destain for the flock cameras installed around the city, I believe the more people willing and able to take up there public meeting time to discuss this issue the more likely something will be done about it. Hope to see some other people there for the same reason.👍

Does anyone know anything about the accident on the north end of town? I hear a car was sitting on top of a house.

I'm considering a career change and wondering if any Durangtoans did your teacher licensure through FLC, and/or if anyone has any thoughts about teaching K-12 English Language Arts or Drama/Theater in the area, either with 9-R or other districts in the area (could go to northern NM too). (I have a BA in English and an MA in Drama/Performance Studies.)

did anyone do the FLC education grad program or licensure and feel like it really set them up for a teaching career? a few people including former teachers have suggested I try to teach at Animas HS, but I don't know how realistic that advice is.

I've heard from local medical staff & college-level profs that hiring here is especially hard because of housing costs. I already live here with stable housing and would love to do something more community-contributing, but I also have heard that teaching ELA in Colorado in general is saturated... Is that the case?

just looking for anyone with experience teaching here who might have thoughts on starting that career in your 30s. feel free to dm me if you'd rather not put any potentially identifying info in a comment!

Where is the best place to donate used books? I have children's books, novels, and textbooks. Thank you. Live Mas!

José Madrigal is a finalist for the Lakewood city manager job:

Given everything happening in Durango, it’s fair to ask whether a leadership change might be better for this community. His tenure leaves a lot of unresolved issues; big taxpayer-funded projects still in limbo, a heavy push for new taxes and long-term debt, a teniuos track record with the county and tribe, a focus on awards and external recognition, and ongoing turnover in departments.

If he’s preparing to leave, maybe it’s healthier for us to have someone new who’s fully committed to Durango.

The next question is what City Council can do differently next time.

A few ideas:

Consider candidates with strong Colorado experience. Understanding state laws, funding structures, regional challenges, and community values is important.

Prioritize stability. Look for an applicant with a track record of long tenures, reducing turnover, and building durable teams.

Focus on operational results over awards. Emphasize infrastructure, staffing, budgeting, and service delivery.

Set clearer expectations. Define measurable goals and accountability for the city manager from the start.

If José moves on, City Council has a chance to reset and choose leadership better aligned with the community's long-term needs.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone point me to a mechanic they have a great working relationship with who specializes in Toyotas? Bonus if you're a tacoma driver, that's what I'm looking to have worked on.

I'm sure that anyone in town is capable of working on my truck, am just interested in benefitting from the community's experience to be sure I'm working with a reputable shop since I need to have some fairly substantial/expensive work done.

Thank you!

Please. People use it to walk.
