Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

1939 WPA

We stayed in a newly opened room in a seprate wing of the hotel. Across from the entrance to the room in a private courtyard was our giant tub. All of that was just for us!

Oddly, Truth or Consequences has two working post offices with the same zip code, this one on the north side of town is called the main post office and the other is located in the middle of town in downtown T or C.

From a September 1974 Minneapolis-St. Paul edition of TV Guide. "The New Candid Camera" with Allen Funt and John Bartholomew Tucker premiered in syndication. The show was created by Funt and its origins go back to the 1940s on radio, as "Candid Microphone." The most popular version ran Sunday nights on CBS from 1960-66. Allen Funt's son Peter has since carried on the tradition.

 

The competition was stiff in the Twin Cities during Monday night "access time" in 1974, up against "Let's Make a Deal," "The Bud Grant Show" (with Minnesota Vikings coach Grant and KSTP sportscaster Tom Ryther) and Ironside reruns, billed at the time in syndication as "The Raymond Burr Show."

Historic U.S. Post Office in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. When it was constructed in 1939, the name of the city was “Hot Springs”. It was changed in 1950 to “Truth or Consequences” after the TV game show.

 

The Classical Revival style building was listed on to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 (NRHP No. 90000141 as the US Post Office-Truth or Consequences Main). It was also added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1990 (HPD 242 as Hot Springs Main Post Office).

The Rio Grande drifts lazily past Riverbend Hot Springs in Truth or Consequences. Visible to the left is "Turtleback Mountain". I didn't get any shots of this place at night (too busy soaking!) but there's very little light pollution and you get an incredible view of the stars above.

Today Joey and I rode our bikes back to palomas gap to further explore some mines. Yesterday we entered some mines, but today was more espectacular.

After three partial work days of pumping papercrete we have managed

to fill the dome to just above the height of the door. If you look

carefully you can see a even ring of wetness at the 7' mark of the

dome. Now the work should go very fast as the dome rapidly shrinks in

diameter at that height.

With a name like Truth or Consequences, I had to visit. From what I could see, it was just another older western town strung along the interstate. It had renamed itself after a radio show, so that the radio show would broadcast from there once every year.

 

From "T or C" my plan was to get to Alamogordo and see the White Sands area. This required going south on I-25 through a number of small towns to Las Cruces (which turned out to be much less interesting than I expected), and then east on US-70 across the White Sands Missile Range (next picture).

The town out on that ridge is Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It got its name back in 1950, when -- according to Wikipedia -- "it took the name of a popular radio program . . . Truth or Consequences host Ralph Edwards announced that he would do the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. 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 stage show." The town's original name was Hot Springs.

Arsalan Serajian is still missing in New Mexico. Last seen in Truth or Consequences, NM, at the Super 8 Motel on October 7th, his car was found in Silver City at the Gila Cliff Dwellings. The VIN numbers had been removed or covered, license plate taken, keys on the floor and all new new camping equipment and personal items still in it. It was abandoned two weeks before anyone reported it. There are clear and obvious signs of foul play. There is also another Gila resident who went missing 4 weeks afterwards whose car was found parked in the same area. Locating these two is a priority.

 

These photos were favorites from other Flickr photographers that show the area near Truth or Consequences where he was last seen.
