Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Do you know Durango is?

[R Philip Dowds (rphilipdowds]

What with Google Earth and all the other Internet research sources, I never 
have any problem scoping out unfamiliar locales.  So I’d go short with 
“Durango*, CO”.  If some people are too lazy to investigate Durango on their 
own, maybe they won’t be the most dynamic of new coho members.

 * I’ve been to Durango; it has (or had) a great regional book store,.
