I think I'm on a mission to…read more. SAVE RATON!! So, I've been going to and from CA to CO for the past two+ years and the Amtrak has definitely been a secret pleasure of mine. The rates are pretty darn reasonable and the experience is quite nice. One stop I thought was simply magical was Raton. It let me know that we're almost to CO or well on my way back west. Whether I'm jumping off to hitch a ride on the Grey Hound connector to hit the major cities, or hanging tight on the train a little longer to visit my cousin who lives near the La Junta station... Raton is a quiet town with some of the sweetest folk one can encounter. Enter "The Pack Rat" One of a few places open this past Labor Day was this great place. Browse for staple souvenirs and even amazing locally made goodies like rosaries, jewelry, crafty items, and even yummy eats. Our 2 hour delay got us patronizing and socializing at the Pack Rat. The owners were cordial and very helpful. They were very inviting and informative. Not too pushy and gave us just enough space to freely move about the establishment without feeling watched or pressured. They had a fairly large selection of dream catchers. Small to big! We snatched a howling wolf that was pretty huge for $25. A definite deal considering I got one in AZ or UT from a "native" that was the size of a half dollar for 15 bucks. They adorn the walls, so please check them out if your into them. I walked out with some snacks for the road, a habanero salsa, that catcher, and a few other trinkets. The Pack Rat is a tourist must because what's better than good people, local items, reasonable prices, and tons of souvenirs to sift through?? I was fully satisfied with the purchase I made and would love to come back again. AMTRAK, would you please consider re-opening the Raton station? Spread the word!!! I'm on a mission to save it all :)

We stopped in, and I had been looking for a new video camera and they had a one that was really nice at a great price.

Very glad we stopped in.

I was stranded and alone in a city I did not know. I have NEVER met someone so rude in my life. HIGHLY suggest not to go here for anything.

On a Monday I called JM tire about a car rental. They told me it's available come on over. When I…read moregot there the manager was not there so I waited an hour until I was told to call back later in the day. Later I was told the car wasn't ready and needed to be vacuumed and an oil change. On Tuesday I was told it wasn't ready, but they were starting on it and it also needed a wheel alignment. But it would be ready on Wednesday by 10:00. On Wednesday I was told it wasn't ready because they were still working on it and it also needed brakes. I wasn't told when it would be ready. A few of the locals told me the Raton has changed for the worst. They go out to eat or to the store and don't recognize anyone. The saddest thing I heard was nobody helps or cares about their neighbors. I'm just a visitor who wanted to see my son while he's at a boys scout camp 30 minutes south. If Lewis does not want $300-500 dollars of business or whatever the charge would have been, that's fine. Next time just say "sorry it's not available". JM is listed as the only rental in town, I guess that's wrong. I do not recommend nor would I do any business with JM.

This business is run by crooks who rip off tourists. At least, they thought I was a tourist and…read morewould never hear from me again. That's why they overcharged me $60 to splice a wire. That's around four times what the job was worth. Incidentally, I found the problem myself, I had the spare wire, I even pointed to the location and held the wire while the shop hand soldered it. So there was not even any brain-work for R&D involved. Good, because the owner had no brain. I know, I should have settled the price first, but one cannot effectively negotiate every tiny transaction in this life, and that is why I say I was ripped off. Also, I am not in the habit of arguing with fat, ugly slobs whose desk is surrounded by a ring of Big Mac wrappers. Worse, the slob did not even go out to inspect the job. Instead, he pretended to look in a book, then zapped me $60 for ten minutes work. If you need any mechanics done, there is an excellent garage across the street that is staffed by honest people. Like we say in Texas, "You done been told."
