Thanks for posting this link. The article is very positive, and hopefully, will help Las Vegas's tourism. It's a nice little city with an interesting history and lovely architecture.

I too have heard good things about Raton and I am planning on going to see the area in a couple of weeks. I want to swing by and see it as I have never been to Raton. I have heard it is a great place to live but it does get cold in the winter but not bitter cold because it had dry humidity. I have been trying to get people from the Raton area to speak about it but I guess nobody from there has been to this site except one person described it as a pretty nice place and be sure if you visit, go visit the extinct volcano Capulin. So anybody else out there know about Raton? I like that you can go into Colorado really fast too.
Raton is a nice town. I lived there for twelve years or so, and graduated from high school trere. I, am thinking of retireing there and just purchased some land.l Location is nice,water is real good. Real nice country but a little remote even though Trinadad is close, and also a nice drive. They just built a new hospitol and are tring to get doctors to come in. The town used to really thrive but is in a depressed state mainly due to the mine closing a few years back. I wish I could get more feedback but no one writes much about Raton. Tough decision to retire there, any feed back would help.
I like Raton pertty well, although it is remote. As I recall, there isn't a lot there, which is both good and bad. It has real winters. The area is gorgeous, especially toward Eagle Nest.
I've lived here with my family for three years, having moved from California. We are "anglos" and have been welcomed here, but you can't come here and act like you're still living in some suburb of a typical, corporate, big-box suburb. People here greet you and speak politely, more quietly than what you may be used to, like years ago. And though there are many poor people here that doesn't mean they are inferior or lacking in other ways. Don't try to live here if you can't get off your high horse! Come here with the idea that you will honor the history and help the town improve and you will be appreciated and welcomed. This place is culturally rich and full of interesting people and surprises.

I wonder how the natives would respond to an unreconstructed New England Yankee? I am frugal, polite to strangers, opinionated, but tend to keep qiuet (sometimes).
Las Vegas is on my list of places to set up my stand alone heat and electricity business. Is there any space for rent that could accomodate a machine and assembly shop?
If it's any consolation, Hollywood has taken over the town. Or maybe that bit of info is more likely to send you running in the opposite direction. Haha. But Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, and Tobey Maguire were here not too long ago. My friend got to work alongside Tobey Keith the week before last. It's been pretty exciting.

I never lived there, but for a year I went there and hung out in coffee shops etc two days a week (there is a boring explanation for this) and met a varied friendly population.
I can't imagine you would offend anyone. And I can't imagine that space is at a premium. It seemed like there are quite a few vacant buildings perhaps as a result of the decline of the railroads.
(And the coffee shop has free wireless.)
