On my way to Monticello a few weeks ago, I had to stop in a town that has one of the more interesting names. See, "T or C" (as it's known locally) once had the otherwise unremarkable name of Hot Springs, NM. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, host of the popular radio show "Truth or Consequences" announced he would broadcast the show live from any town that agreed to change its name to that of the radio show. Thus Hot Springs, NM became Truth or Consequences, NM.
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico was formerly called the town of Hot Springs. One of my favorite places in NM.
Evening run. Trying HRR measurements. I scored a 49 BPM drop in 2 minutes of recovery from MAF pace. Decent. The goal is to score 60 or better. #newmexico #trailrunning #truthorconsequences #torc #quantifiedself #maf #hrm

The Sierra County Courthouse was built with WPA labor in 1939 (the same year in which The Wizard of Oz was released).
The long and strange name of the county seat comes from the name of the popular radio game show called Truth or Consequences hosted by Ralph Edwards. Edwards promised that he would come to the first town in the country that would change its name in honor of his show. So in the year 1950, this town changed its name, and Edwards came to here every first weekend in May for the next fifty years at which time a community celebration would occur. The town's original name was Hot Springs. So this courthouse was built back when the town went by a different name.
The county's former seat was located at the mining town of Hillsboro. Click on this link to see a picture of the ruins of the 1892 Sierra County Courthouse that still stand there: www.flickr.com/photos/99491151@N00/3152879454/in/set-7215...
