Breaking Bad - Several Minor Sites

I’ve had a chance to re-review some of “Breaking Bad” video again. The BB sites that are resistant to analysis are still resistant to analysis, but I’ve been able to puzzle out a few more minor sites.

I noticed there was something odd about the scene where Jesse & Walt meet near the Nuclear Museum. Using Google Earth, I realized that that particular scene can only be had from the roof of the Old Town Parking Garage, 20th & Mountain Rd. NW (Season 2, episode 7, "Negro y Azul").

"We're not charging enough. Corner the market then raise the price. Simple economics."


In addition, I think I’ve figured out two time lapse sequences:

Reverse Sunset, View from base of the Tramway (Season 3, episode 7, "One Minute"). Time Lapse. The new Mormon Temple is visible in the lower left quadrant.


View of Downtown (Season 3, episode 8, "I See You") View of downtown. Time lapse from vicinity of Walter & Marble NE, and taken from TriCore Reference Laboratories, 1001 Woodward Pl. NE.


Oncology Clinic (1), (Season 1, Episode 6, "Crazy Handful of Nothin'").

I generally agree with “WallDruggie” that the Oncology Clinic hallway scene (Season 1, episode 6, “Crazy Handful of Nothin’”) is likely at Q Studios. The wall visible in the distance closely resembles the fence that surrounds Q Studios. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if the Cancer Support Group in the same episode was filmed at Rio Rancho High School, per WallDruggie’s suggestion.


In addition, I have a hypothesis about the peaks visible from Hank’s window as he drives to the Big Chief Gas Station (Season 3, episode 4, "Green Light. The peaks don't seem to correspond to anything in the Zia Pueblo area, or the drive up there or past there, but there are peaks that might work in the general area of La Luz picnic area, at the forefront of the Sandia Mountains, as seen from either Service Rd. 333B or Tierra Monte "). It’s a suggestion, but it’s still a stretch: The “Shield” area of the Sandias doesn’t look quite right.
