[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 452197, member: 6705"] Errr. Truth or Consequences is actually in New Mexico, near Elephant Butte. Its original name was Radium Springs, until a game show host in 1950 said he would broadcast from the first town to rename themselves after the show. "T or C" did, and he did. There's not much else there, so it was a good gambit for the town. In fact, in the movie [I]Cars[/I], the town "Radiator Springs" is a car-themed play on Radium Springs. And Wikipedia says it's "Hot Springs". Pfft. T or C is on the way to Albuquerque from my hometown... A great stopping point. [/QUOTE]
