“Today begins the rebirth of the Albuquerque rail yards as part of our community. By making the rail yards once again part of the community we are able to keep the rich history embodied here alive.” Mayor Berry said.

The facility will be available for event rentals, potential retail ventures, and housing options all while continuing to reflect our rich history.

The opportunity to bring the rail yards back to prominent place in the community necessitated bringing the building up to current safety codes to allow events like the grand opening, farmer’s markets, concerts, and car shows. Other work in the $900,000 project included repairing the broken glass panes, renovating the parking area, addressing ADA accessibility, cleaning, painting and installing electricity and lighting to the building.

Background Between 1880-1930 the single most important factor in Albuquerque’s transformation from a farming village to a commercial and industrial center was the railroad. The Albuquerque rail yards helped build America, literally, only one of four like facilities in the United States (1914-1924). This rail yard serviced the entire southwestern region of the US.

“Under Mayor Berry’s direction, the Department of Municipal Development was proud to manage this construction project as the cornerstone of the rail yards redevelopment,” DMD Director Michael Riordan said. “We are working closely with the Planning Department to enforce the long term rail yards plan, and Cultural Services Department who is scheduling the facility.”

The facility was built between 1914-1924 and operated by AT&SF Railway (Atchision, Topeka & Santa Fe) later BNSF (Burlington Northern) 27.3 acre site 360,000 feet under all rooftops (Blacksmith shop 27,000 ft). When built the site was outfitted with the latest engineering technology available for steam locomotives. In the early 1900’s 1Ž4 of the City’s workforce was employed on this site. During WWI (1914-1918) and WWII (1939-1945) this rail yard was integral to the war effort; protection of the site was matter of national security. The history of this site embodies American ingenuity, craftsmanship, and pride of work and is truly one of the last great pieces of American and Southwest history. ItsATrip.org

Construction began in July. Local company Van Gilbert was the design consultant, Bradbury Stamm, which has a local office in Albuquerque, was the contractor. The project was funded by voter approved G.O. Bonds.

Bathing Bad Breaks On-Line Sales Records During Breaking Bad Season Finale

S

ales of the Heisenberg inspired blue sky colored Bathing Bad Bath Salt, “cooked” in Albuquerque by owners Keith & André West-Harrison, shattered previous sale records. One product every 7.5 seconds of the 75-minute series finale was sold between BathingBad.com and Amazon. com.

hit the tub with these bath salts. The clever packaging may suggest a chemical compound, but we assure you Bathing Bad cooks with a proprietary formula of nothing but the good (organic, all-natural) stuff. Even the signature sky blue hue of this premium product is derived from red cabbage. Yeah science!

“We love the show and we are excited to see it has fans all over the world,” said co-owner Keith WestHarrison, “Orders came in from 14 countries and 32 states while the last episode aired.”

The store owners have been telling friends that after Jesse left Walt he came to their house to make a batch of the sky blue bath salts. “He’d like working for us better, says André “since we wouldn’t chain him up.”

The spa product is for relaxation only, but it is based on the show’s fictional blue meth made by the Albuquerque high school teacher Walter White in the hit AMC TV show “Breaking Bad.” FAB.com describes Bathing Bad as: Face it, your money isn’t the only thing that’s dirty. You need a good washing, yo. Skip the carwash and

“Last year we bought an old 9,000-square-foot home and we decided we needed to ‘break bad’ to pay for the renovations. We asked ourselves ‘What Would Walter White Do?’” said creator Keith West-Harrison, “We thought selling bath salts was better than meth. I’m not a chemist and we’d prefer no jail time.” ItsATrip.org
