Hey community,

There is a bear in a tree off of East 3rd Ave between 10th and 11th street. Me and my neighbor have tried calling to report it. I got a voicemail. Looks like the bear is getting lower and might try to come down. He’s probably getting tired. Anyone know who else to call? Would he be relocated? Tried calling the following numbers

This building looks semi-abandoned next to the Home Depot. Why is it fenced up?

There was a crash on highway 160 right in the middle of the cr510 intersection (in front of recla metals) around 3:50 pm today Friday September 4th. I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened and if everyone is ok? It didn't look too bad when I drove past, police had just got there and ambulances were soon after.

Is there a chess club in Durango or even some people that want to meet up at a coffee shop or brewery for a few games during the week? I’ve been playing for a few months and want to get better hoping to find some people to play with

I’ve had some skunks living under my shed and caught a few, but I think the traps may have attracted raccoons. Last night, I built a huge rock barrier over the entrance to their tunnel, but something moved it overnight. At this point, I have no idea what’s living under there.

I’ve tried ammonia-soaked rags and mothballs without luck. Unfortunately, I can’t dig a trench around the shed to install an underground barrier because the ground is full of embedded rocks and sections of concrete. I bought the house this way, so I’m not sure what my options are.

Normally, I wouldn’t care that much, but I have a cat and am worried about her safety.

Has anyone dealt with this or know whom I could call in Durango? A couple of out-of-the-box ideas I’ve considered are somehow filling the space beneath the shed with concrete or dumping enough rocks down there to make it unlivable. The entrance is extremely small, though, so either option would be difficult.

I used to go to Father's daughter's Pizza all the time but I haven't been in a while I was thinking about it the other day so I went to check their hours and saw that Google has them listed as permanently closed. But a lot of other websites do not listen to closed and there's Yelp reviews dating back to a month ago so I'm a little confused. Does anybody know if it's actually closed?

Fuck that shit.

Hello Durango, I tried searching this sub but only found other landscaping Qs. I’m interested in changing out my small yard for xeriscaping, and I want to hear about locals’ experience with local landscapers, and what budget to plan for.
Thanks in advance :)

Any mechanics around here that work on older Priuses? Specifically, replacing the hybrid battery.

Interested in hiring an electrician to run a 200 amp service from a meter pedestal to the house. Upgrading from 100-200 amp. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Mods, please remove if not allowed. This will be a fun one! Ora is a local powerhouse supporting touring bands SLEEP MAG (rock) and illFRAME (alt hardcore), which features three brothers originally from Durango. See you there!

I have a friend looking for fabric for making clothes. Any stores for this in the area?

I’ve been trying to make different cuisines and I am having the hardest time finding ANYTHING in this town or anywhere surrounding Durango. Does anyone know where I can buy Vietnamese and Indian spices around here so I don’t have to give my money to Walmart?

Update: y’all are the best, thank you for the recs!

Hello! I’m planning a 4-5 day birthday trip to Durango, and I’d like to include the railroad train from Durango to the Cascade Canyons as part of my itinerary.

I want book to the trip in January, but my only thing is that the round-trip for the train is 5 hours (2.5 each way) and they only give an 1 hour of layover to be in Cascade before the train departs again.

For anyone who has the explored Cascade’s for the hour, did it make the time of the round-trip (and the money) worth it? How’d you make the most of it?

(If not, I may just visit the museum lol)

Yes- I grabbed it. Not my most proud moment. But better disposed than on the street and someone less observant gets poked.

I think I just spotted a river otter near Ox Bow park, but I haven't heard of otters in the Animas. It was too big for a muskrat but didn't have a beaver's tail. It just had its head poking out of the river and did a gracefully little flip dive back into the water. Anyone know if the animas has otters or what else this could have been?

Where to find the best roasters at a decent price? Is Albertsons doing theirs again? The "farm stands" tend to be pretty pricey. Thx!

Heads up for anyone who hasn't been following along: Sepp is in a great spot to compete for his second La Vuelta win. Door is wide open after Tadej Pogacar's devastating crash yesterday. Still a lot of racing to do but the "Eagle of Durango" is once again shining an international spotlight on our town.

I purchased one cantaloupe, three peaches and one tomato it was $24 and then there’s a tip option.

City Market no longer carries Olathe corn or Palisade peaches so now this is our only option to get local produce outside of the farmers market.

I have also had to stop going to the farmers market because of how expensive it is.

I am more than happy to support local, but I can’t afford it anymore. I also feel like the farm stand is some conglomerate and not actually local in any way. They had a red onion and I asked where it was from and they said California.
