Frankfurt am Main -------- Known in US as Frankfurt only

Frankfurt, is the largest city in the German state of Hesse and the fifth-largest city in Germany,
with a population of about 670,000.

In English, this city's name translates into "Frankfurt on the Main" (pronounced like "mine"). A part of early Franconia, the inhabitants were the early Franks. The city is located on an ancient ford on the river Main, the German word for which is "Furt". Thus the city's name receives its legacy as being the "ford of the Franks".

Lockport, Illinois (est. 1830) gets its name from Lock No. 1 of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which allowed boat transportation from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. The I&M Canal was overtaken by the railroads, though. Lockport is also at the point where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal meets up with the DesPlaines River. Lots of waterway history there.

Truth or Consequences is a spa city in and the county seat of Sierra County, New Mexico, United States

Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC radio program. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences announced that he would air the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Hot Springs, NM won the honor. Ralph Edwards came to the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year on the first Saturday of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.
