Raton Reviews

Overall, Raton is not a bad town. It is a very pretty place to live, and has a large amount of history. It is a small town at the bottom of several mountains. The only problem with this town is the large amount of crime, and drugs. There is also not much to do in the town. It is slowly dying off. The schools are not very good either. I had problems with bullying and stealing when I attended school here. A majority of members in the community are elderly. There are only gas stations, dollar stores, and a grocery store. There are a few car part stores, as well as hardware stores and such, but little else in this town. For a small town it is an okay place to live.
