N. Main makeover
North Main will be coming under the microscope as the City of Durango hosts a community visioning workshop at the Rec Center tonight. Property and business owners along North Main are invited to attend starting at 4:30 p.m. with all other interested community members invited to join in starting at 6:15 p.m. The workshop will kick off with a short presentation followed by public comment and discussion.
The workshop is part of the City’s “Durango Districts” initiative, a communitywide effort to guide the development and revitalization of Durango’s mixed-use and commercial districts.
“Durango has fought hard over the years to stay unique, and the Durango Districts initiative is designed to make sure Durango remains a well-planned, safe and beautiful place,” stated City Planning Manager Scott Shine.
Last year, the City and CDOT completed a mobility study for North Main, which recommended improvements to create a “safer and more pleasant experience.” The recommendations will be implemented in coming years.
Building on this study, the City is now seeking input on other actions to improve North Main. In addition to the workshop, the City has released a short online survey. To learn more about Durango Districts initiative or take the survey, go to: districts.durangogov.org.
For questions about the workshop, contact Shine at (970) 375-4858 or scott.shine@durangogov.org

On most days, Tracy Harwood spends her time as a court clerk for the City of Durango. But next Thurs., June 4 – International Corgi Day – she hopes to bring something entirely different to town: short legs, wiggly butts and oversized personalities.

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.

Turns out, blondes do have more fun, or at least they get more awards. Last week, Ska Brewing won the gold medal for its True Blonde Ale in the English-Style Pale Ale category at the 2026 World Beer Cup. This is the third win for the Blonde at the World Beer Cup, held in Philadelphia on April 22 and pegged as one of the world’s most prestigious beer competitions.
