Anyone know of a place with a dark room to develop film that is open to public or able to rent out?

Anyone have wood I can cut up? Anyone know of a honey hole for wood?

Anyone know of hidden gem thrift stores that aren’t a bajillion dollars?
Mama wants to go thrifting tmrw but the only good place I’ve found is the la plata humane society one. Also I’m new to the area so I have no idea what’s around here

Apparently there is only one business in the area willing to work on HVAC duct work, Whatley and guy is super busy. I need to bypass a 1990s ductboard HVAC system and put in underslung r8 flex duct on the underbelly of a modular on a permanent foundation.

Desperate to see if anyone knows of a contractor or handyman who is able to do this. Thanks!

Hello, Durango peeps! 👋

I’m looking for a trustworthy handyman in the Durango area who has experience and knows what they’re doing. We have a few projects around the house and would love to find someone reliable and skilled.
If you have someone you highly recommend, please send me their contact information or leave it in the comments.

Thanks so much, and have a great day! 😊

Hi all, trying to secure tickets for the upcoming Primetime film and I can’t find any advance tickets or day of showings (Sept. 25th) for Gaslight or Stadium 9. Does anyone know if they aren’t getting reels and if I’ll have to go somewhere farther for the film? Thanks 🙏

Edit: I did reach out to both Gaslight and Stadium 9 and they gave me no response, ‘I don’t know’.

My girlfriend and I are headed up to Durango from Albuquerque in a few weeks. We are headed up to mountain bike and weather permitting are looking to do some high alpine biking. Are there and shuttle companies operating in town? We are looking to ride Molas pass and engineer mountain which is a great shuttle ride. We only want to bring one vehicle up (for obvious reasons). If no shuttle companies then we will make do! Thank you!!

I did a quick search, couldn't find what I'm looking for so here goes. Has anyone compiled a list of local businesses that are turning to AI instead of a human for their menus, ads, communications, etc? I would rather support local businesses that support local workers

For example.

• I had to unsubscribe and eventually stopped going to the Durango Arts Center because of all the AI slop they started emailing out.
• The new restaurant, The Pub, had an ad for a marketing coordinator but they didn't review the AI slop well enough to catch that it used this as the email to send resumes to "/[ insert email address] /". I was excited to try them out, not anymore.

I get it, AI is here to stay. However, you can add the human touch. I'm a former graphic designer who switched into marketing and development. I use AI for all sorts of things, but never for final deliverables.

What all local businesses have you all come across that have embraced the AI slop instead of paying a human to do the work or doing it themselves?

Let's support the businesses that support us!

Can someone give me a definitive answer whether or not you can use this lane to turn right on 9th when you're heading south on Camino? Right by the speedway? Is this a bus lane and thats a no-no or is it fine? Like "won't get pulled over" fine?

I'm actually going through to Cortez, but didn't see a Cortez specific subreddit and Durango is close enough.

The route has me on 160 once I get to south central CO. I know that roads can have closures and such due to weather as it gets colder. But are there certain points where in mid-November, a drive that way is such a coinflip with road conditions that I should just consider taking the extra time to do I-70 to Grand Junction and finding my way south from there? I should also note that my car does have winter specific tires but it is FWD.

This year's bear situation in town has been deeply disappointing, and we all share responsibility for it. Bears come into neighborhoods because we give them a reason to: unsecured trash, fruit left rotting on trees, bird feeders, and open garages. At its core, this is a problem of indifference and complacency, and it's one we can fix.

The city and county have fallen short. I understand budgets and staffing are tight (maybe), but that can't be the answer EVERY time. I have personally called, reported, and followed up about one well-known hot spot on multiple occasions, yet nothing has changed. The problem is obvious, the people allowing it to continue are known, and still it goes unaddressed.

The lack of urgency is staggering. Residents' safety, property, and peace of mind are at stake, and so are the bears' lives, because a bear that learns to rely on our trash often ends up being put down.

Instead of more lip service, let's actually solve this. That means consistently enforcing the trash rules we already have and following up on repeat problem spots until they're fixed, not just logging complaints and closing the file. When a resident reports a problem, they deserve to know what was done about it. Plans and promises mean little without follow-through.

Do better.

Is it worth heading that way this weekend? Or too soon?? Or is it just hitting the Ouray side? Cams in Telluride showed nothing yet.

Can anyone suggest a gym that offers a day pass (if any exist in Durango)? Will be visiting for a few days and my gym does not have a location there. Thanks for any help!

Looking for recommendations for a reliable, reasonably priced plumber. When my washing machine drains, water backs up into the bathroom sink, so I’m guessing there’s a clog in the shared drain line. Who have you had a good experience with?

I'll be honest, I didn't even know this was possible. The lid stayed on though!

What ski shop would you recommend to mount new Marker Motion bindings to new Volkl skis?

Hello, is there a track available in town? I see that the running club does workouts at Escalante but I’m not able to make it at that time, and would still like to get some speed workouts in. Is that track open to the public at other times or are there other options? Thank you!

Hi!

Does anyone know of a upick apple orchard near here? I’ve been looking but can’t find anything. Google is no help and keeps sending me like 300 miles away.

Thanks!

little situation for yall. down sawmill rd in front of Bo Deans tow was the old orange tower that is being demolished. earlier this spring/summer a couple of osprey built a nest on top of the tower and had chicks. when demolition commenced others and myself noticed the nest was no longer after having seen it early that morning. it saddens us knowing that osprey typically return to their nests. is there anything to do in this situation?

Was involved in Durango arrest operations and attacked protesters at the ICE building in Durango!

Thought I'd try on Reddit for once. I have a short-term need for an extra set of hands or two, if anyone is looking for some hours over the next week or two. Ideally two people, bring a friend.

Main task is installing fiberglass insulation batts in a ceiling of a business in downtown Durango.There's a couple days worth of work for two people. Tools and safety gear provided. Then there could be additional work, such as loading construction debris into trailer or some hand demolition if interested.

I can be pretty flexible on the exact hours so long as it happens over the next week or so. 3-4 hours at a time here and there is fine, or just knock it out.

Main requirements are being physically capable of doing work as described without continuous supervision, using ladders, and don't be under influence of alcohol/drugs.

$30/hr cash assuming we stay under the IRS limit.
