Las Vegas and Raton, NM and Pueblo, CO
Writing by Rich on April 21, 2007
I could give each of these their own post, like I did Truth or Consequences, but like T or C, we didn’t really spend much time in these towns. They were simply waysides as we drove to Colorado Springs and back. If we would have seen much that interested us, we would have taken the time to investigate.
Las Vegas, New Mexico, seemed economically depressed, with nary a good restaurant in sight. And we didn’t even investigate Raton that much — it was off our list due to its isolated location, a couple of hours south of Colorado Springs. I only mention Raton because I saw it show up on another “best places to live” list recently.
Pueblo was the larger and more interesting of the three. The drive through on I-25 takes you by some very run down parts of town. Clearly though, they are making some major investments in downtown. Still, it wasn’t enough to make us want to invest more of our limited time there. But for someone wanting to be in a smaller city, yet close to the larger resources of Colorado Springs, it could be a good choice.
