A while ago I posted a what's this that was too hard. The problem was that it was the location of something that hadn't been built yet. Or rather, it had, but Google's aerial photography hadn't picked it up.

Now it's too easy, if you turn on the Wikipedia feature of Google Maps, or even if you just turn on the photos feature. But the thing in question has in fact now been built -- and photographed -- about 800 feet from where I thought (not bad for the middle of the desert). You might be able to figure it out from just the pictures.

Comments screened. ETA: comments here are so far general comments; puzzle solutions are (or will be, when I unscreen them) in the original post.

I totally cheated to see what it was, but I've also been distracted.

Is there really a town called "Truth or Consequences", or has someone been screwing with Google?

Yes, there really is! A lot of towns in the southwest have awesome names. "Pie Town" is my personal favorite.

I think that I would say "I like Pie Town", except for all of the levels of odd it would be for me to say it.
