I just saw this. DenverPost.com - Your table is ready: "San Francisco has a population of 791,684 and 4,375 restaurants, according to the most recent figures available. John Cohen, executive director of Durango Tourism Office, says Durango has a population of 16,000 and 100 restaurants, which means San Francisco has a restaurant for about every 180 residents to Durango's 160. ...
"In less than a decade, Durango has built a gastronomic spectrum of Japanese, Italian and French restaurants, not to mention breweries, coffeehouses, a Mediterranean restaurant and one serving Himalayan. You can dine upscale, middle-of-the-road and downscale at such places as the Durango Diner, which is very much worth finding, if only for its green chile."
While Durango does offer skiing and other outdoor activities, it's never been considered one of the premiere ski areas in the state. And it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere when it comes to nearby population:
Albuquerque 215 miles
Colorado Springs 302 miles
Denver 333 miles
Grand Junction 169 miles
Phoenix 461 miles
Santa Fe 216 miles
Salt Lake City 413 miles
I think this shows that if you offer something people want, you can bring them in. I'd like to see more music venues become visitor-friendly.
