RATON, N.M. (AP) In some parts of town, they’re seemingly everywhere.
Vacant buildings some dilapidated and others that look recently abandoned have become an unavoidable reality in Raton, a constant reminder to residents of their town’s current plight.
Entire blocks of the downtown area are filled with shuttered and unused properties, some of which have been empty for decades. A couple of miles away, in Raton’s historic north side, many homes are falling apart, large pieces of plywood attempting to cover scorch marks from where fires once burned.
