Relax, enjoy the pace of unpaved roads

I find it frustrating reading about how we need to pave every road. I’ve heard from avid asphalt enthusiasts about how paving will make all our lives better. However, I’m skeptical about the...

Durango Arts Center is not a city tenant

The Durango Arts Center wishes to submit a correction to the story headlined “When the city is your landlord” (Herald, May 17). In the story, a photograph of DAC’s 802 E. Second Avenue build...

Take man as more than physical beings

It’s my idea that many people have a problem with believing in a man-like God perched on a cloud running the cosmic show. What if the phrase “Let us make mankind in our image and likeness” (...

Time to retire foolish DNF tirades

In my opinion, Root Routledge (Letters, Herald, May 20) is an overeducated, underinformed busybody with too much time on his hands who persists in trying to keep a dead issue alive rather th...
