New Mexico:
Flying H, NM
Truth Or Consequences, NM
Weed, NM

Years ago, a popular game show was taped at Hot Springs, NM which was later renamed after the show "Truth or Consequences".  The town actually has hot springs and is the entrance to Elephant Butte Lake.

The host said he would do the show in the first town that changed their name. The town changed their name so the show was taped there.
