Say it isnt so. A longtime Durango tradition is closing its doors after serving the community for more than 81 years. Hogans, a Main Avenue staple, has outfitted generations of Durangoans in everything Western, from cowboy boots and pearl-button dress shirts to Carhartts and work boots. Heres a look at the last hoorah at one of our favorite local family-run businesses.

Proprietor Mickey Hogan reflects on several decades in the family business. Joe Toledo makes a mad dash for the smokin deals on denim jeans. Anne Finney cruises the racks. Fresh leather awaits a new home. The final days at the all-too familiar Main Ave. store front. Shoppers search for bargains.
