DOWNTOWN IS BEAUTIFUL
BID sends a huge thank you to the City of Durango for the summer flowers recently delivered to Downtown. They look amazing! We also send a thank you to the nearly 100 businesses that are hosting these flowers over the summer months. Reminder that the flowers are not trash cans, please do not dump your waste here. Walk a few more steps as there are multiple trach and recycling receptacles on every block.
