Comparative Tragedy • The Wash Tub • 2024 03-21
Went to visit one of the lesser-known Breaking Bad Universe film locations, a laundromat, and discovered it had burnt up last month. Neighborhood sentiment appears acute.
The property was built in 1948 and burned on February 17, 2024. So it stood for 76 years. The owner has said he'll rebuild.
The interior photographed thru the smoke-streaked window is here.
When I first moved to 'Burque in 1988, this was a 24-hour laundromat. I lived a few blocks away (in a building at another BB location!) and did my clothes here for a decade. I hadn't been back in years by the time it became a Wash Tub in 2003.
Location: 1105 Central Ave NW (former Route 66), Albuquerque, New Mexico 4:58pm
Breaking Bad: 1x06 "Crazy Handful of Nothin'"
Better Call Saul: 4x05 "Quite a Ride"; 4x06 "Piñata"
