Jim, if you could survive the culture shock of life in a pretty remote part of the world after living in the Philly area, you'd love Durango. It's really a pretty classy small town. The college there gives it a bit of culture and there's terrific music all summer long just up the road in Telluride with their summer music festivals.

Beware of winter, however. I've spent time during winter in Durango when exit and access from town was effectively blocked by avalanches on both Red Mountain and Wolf Creek Pass. Prepare to amuse yourself with the local Winterfest and Mardi Gras celebrations and invest in a good cable package!
