There's a city in the US called Truth or Consequences?
 

Seriously?

yup there is

Well that's a pretty funky name then. I might move there just so i can say i'm from Truth or Consequences.

And the citizens named themselves that so that a famous radio or tv personality would come visit their town.

Here's some info:

I don't really think you'd like New Mexico too much. :2 cents:

Why would that be?

I'll read it tomorrow. Going out now.

Jebus fuck that's crazy, has horror/psych movie written all over it

He's definitely one of the most fucked up serial killers of all time and doesn't even get that much coverage either, definitely a movie waiting to happen

I always liked No name Colorado, just struck me as funny.

Wow that's lame.

yes there is, been there dozens of times..its about 120 miles away from me. Its a small little town..lives off visitors to Elephant Butte Lake which is just outside town. I have friends that own a cottage there on the lake that used to be a whorehouse in the 30's...lol
its fun for the weekends and at fiesta time..other than that its snoozeville, but thats not a bad thing.

not really..its worked out for them pretty well..its unique and every year they would get free press from Ralph Edwards and later Bob Barker when he hosted the show. The Fiesta is fun, very small town type parade, everyone participates..cool viewing spots up on the hills..the street kind of winds thru town and the later everyone heads to the lake for boating, etc..then in the evening fireworks and bonfires...it makes for a nice weekend.

http://www.truthorconsequencesnm.net/ is the chamber of commerce website for the town

As if a single search on Google couldn't have answered this question.

Yet a google search does not lead to a many post thread with peoples thoughts on the matter.

New Mexico is awesome

is it called Texas ?

I seem to remember from driving through there that it's basically right in the middle between two other cities (don't remember which ones) which are far enough apart that Truth or Consequences is a great place to stay for the night. As a result, the town has about a million crappy motels frequented by truckers and people driving from point a to point b. Other than that, not much to it, as I remember.

Hear, hear.

Although its eastern border is nothing special, N.M. is deceivingly large (dwarfed by Texas) with great variety -- from caverns to White Sands to the Very-Large Array Telescopes (in the movie Contact) to mud baths and ski resorts. Also has some of the best sunsets you'll see.

As for Truth or Consequences: I have friends in that area who resent that long name and want it changed back to Hot Springs. Supposedly a lot of residents are sick of writing and typing "Truth or Consequences" all the time.

Bagdad in Arizona?

you are right New Mexico has some amazing scenery and incredibly interesting locales to discover.
Re: the locals resenting the name, I have heard some of that too, I doubt they change it back tho, but NOBODY in the region calls it Truth or Consequences..
we call it T or C

Rough and Ready, California :1orglaugh

It's between El Paso and Albuquerque. I stopped there once for gas just so I could say I've been there.

I've heard the abbreviation T or C, but what about for official paperwork and U.S. Mail? Don't you have to write the full name?
