Is anyone else equally devastated about Bread changing their cinnamon roll recipe as I am?

Bread is my favorite bakery in town. Always will be. But there was truly nowhere else you could get a cinnamon roll like that. Plenty of places sell the new style they’re making now (and dare I say… better).

Still love them. Still support them. Just wondering if any other long-time locals feel the same </3

First world problems. I know.

I’m really curious why people are unhappy with restaurants having bump-outs? From my perspective it seems to increase the local business’s sales/helps the local economy thrive. And the owners have to pay $$$ to have them in the first place. Sure, losing 23 parking spots might be mildly annoying, but they’re usually taken up by Texans anyways.🤷🏻‍♀️ What are y’all’s thoughts?🤔

Do you want to play a game? Name your most dreaded car park. Must be a commercial establishment. Residentially difficult parking on the south side doesn’t count. Ill go first; J Bo Pizza is my nominee.

Hello Durango clan!

So I need some help. I was just back home visiting my mom who lives about 4.5 miles up CR240/Florida Rd from Bread by herself.

She’s not doing the best in terms of health and living situation. I was just there for a week cleaning her house and getting her to doctors appointments. It was a crazy stressful week and I couldn’t get everything done I needed to help her situation before I had to return home out of state.

One issue I need to fix for her is her railing on her side door. So I was hoping g to find some recommendations for a trusted handyman to come out and properly add a railing that was previously poorly installed. So if you know of someone that can do quality work that will last, please post some ideas I can follow up on.

Thank you guys, my mother and I appreciate it.

I saw a father and two kids (8-10) on E Bikes ride up Telegraph today right after I suffered that brutal climb... At the bottom of the Tele intersection, there were 5 other people on E Bikes looking to head up Meadow to Stacys. (I've also seen them in Test Tracks)

I support people getting out to ride but this is getting ridiculous. Lesser-skilled riders are traveling further, at higher speeds with complete disregard of trail etiquette. (Sure, there are some 'skilled' riders too, and some that obey signs...)

We need more signage... Like at every trailhead and intersection, showing where E-bikes are and are not allowed. The few signs I've seen on Meadow Connector and lower tele are not enough.

Then again, How long until every trail is open to E-bikes...

Where is everyone buying their house plants?
There used to be a spot off 250 but it seems they’ve closed. Home Depot & Walmart plants aren’t what I’m looking for, and I’ve heard the Durango Nursery will be having a house plant section soon 🤔

Wondering about Purgatory Flats; anyone been up that way recently — dry? Muddy?

Proximity-wise, Durango Trails shows Elbert Creek/Castle Rock "muddy" — but from a report 18 days ago.

Just now I encountered some signature collectors to get something on the ballot about “fixing potholes.” The actual text said something about diverting funds to road maintenance and the Colorado state patrol? Anyone know what this is about or what people are collecting signatures for around the state?

Did anyone go to Wild Tavern’s opening tonight? Where switchback was. Can’t see any menu online, curious what they have
