I’m a member of another site where there are some extreme BB fans (like me). :rofl:
There are STILL companies in Albuquerque NM giving BB tours even though the show ended almost 2 yrs ago. Of course, some people got a late start and are now happily hooked or considering BB Rehab.
Recently one person returned from a guided tour, and she said they had a wonderful time.
Here’s an excerpt: (includes some references to “Better Call Saul”)
“ Off the top of my head here are the locations I remember: Jimmy's (Saul's) brothers house, the neighbor that Jimmy’s brother stole the newspaper from is actually the legit neighbor who lives there, the bench where Jimmy and his brother sat outside, Jesse's house, Jesse's apartment from where he lived with his girlfriend, Walt's house, the meth lab, the car wash, the nail salon/Jimmy's better call Saul office, the Denny's that was used in all seasons of BB, Saul's Breaking Bad office, the parking booth where Jimmy and Mike interact in Better Call Saul, the house/shack where Tuco lived and was killed, a few eating places from the show, the courthouse/jail from both shows, the square that Jesse freaks out in when he believes Walt is trying to have him killed, the place where Skyler has to return the stolen tiara, the house of Ted ? - the dude Skyler sleeps with and where Kuby & Huell make him sign the check to the IRS, the place where Skyler meets her divorce attorney, Walt’s apartment from when he and Skyler lived separately.
The tour was so much fun and I won a trivia prize. The replica RV is great as well as our guides...the guides rotate, but all of them acted or worked on the show. Some of us went to Los Pollos Hermanos afterwards (which is actually a restaurant named Twisters), as we ate another location. I sat in Walter's seat. So much fun!!! “
Here’s an (older) article about the BB auction:
“The highest-selling item was the copy of Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" at $65,500. Other pricey memorabilia included Hector "Tio" Salamanca's bell ($26,750), the pink teddy bear ($23,250), Tuco's grill ($20,250) and Walter's Cadillac ($19,750). Someone even bought the teddy bear eyeball for $7,000.”

Wow! I wonder how much for the Cousins AXE, boots with steel skull on toe, Gus's tie that he straightened just before...well, you know...
