Description
This 1960s era neon sign is all that remains of the Zia Motor Lodge along the Albuquerque segment of Historic Route 66, now known as Central Avenue. The family-owned motel was built in 1938, right after the Route 66 realignment came through Tijeras Canyon instead of Santa Fe. Zia Motor Lodge closed in 2002, and the city demolished it in 2003 after a fire.
The sign was featured in a couple of Season 4 episodes of “Breaking Bad” which was filmed in Albuquerque.
