Uncle Ben's mural

Back in February there was a fire downtown that destroyed a building housing several businesses (one of my favorite restaurants, Le Rendezvous, included.) Since the fire what was left of the building was torn down leaving a gaping hole in our beautiful downtown. My brother, Ben, organized this art project where the building stood. We are so proud of him. I haven't been able to get down there to take pictures yet- we've had a lot of rain and then the Iron Horse Crit craziness is downtown too. Hopefully I can post some picts soon. Here is an interview with him with the local paper, The Durango Herald...
