Durango, CO is truly a tourist town. Evidence includes: historic buildings
Durango/Silverton RR depot
Statler Hotel
street art
(the lady is real)
and trendy restaurants with catchy names
this one made us say “eeww”
a bad name—these burgers are made from grass-fed beef
this sign should read $ea$on$
Some signs needed to be updated (Wonka’s, maybe would be more current)
Gandolf’s smoke shop referers to the Lord of the Rings wizard from movies that came out a while ago now.
This shop, just around a Main St. corner was more overt than
than the marijuana stores. Generally,Colorado,and Durango in particular, (unlike Oregon), is very discreet about its distribution centers. These stores were on the edges of town and had small signs, usually with telltale green crosses and names that include the words “health” and/or ‘”herb”.
Acme Healing Center
Telluride Bud Company
We were surprised that this laundry offered public showers, but found a couple of other places with free showers—for tent camping tourists, maybe?
Tourists ride all kinds of vehicles,
travel with all kinds of equipment.
Everywhere around and outside town were these signs from the grateful citizens of Durango.
Hmmm. Where shall we go tomorrow?

PS I’m sad. I really miss that steam whistle!
