Truth or Consequences

Truth or Consequences is a spa city in Sierra County, New Mexico, United States, and the county seat of Sierra CountyGR6. As of the 2000 census, the population was 7,289. It is commonly known within New Mexico as T or C.

Originally called "Hot Springs", it took the name of a popular radio program in 1950, when Truth or Consequences host Ralph Edwards announced that he would do the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Ralph Edwards came to the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called the "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, parade, and a stage show.

Jeff and I were born in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Funny but true story....
