Travel Directions:
Navigation in Fort Macleod is made interesting by the fact that most streets have at least two names. Nonetheless, the town is small enough so that you are never lost. The Laundry Apartment, which is also the site of The Source (Photo Plus), is on the SE corner of Archie Maclean (3rd) Avenue and Jerry Potts Boulevard (25th Street). If you find the Elks Lodge first, face it and turn right. See map of Fort Macleod.

Remarks:
A Brokeback icon, the Laundry Apartment now proudly bears a “2004 Brokeback Filming Location” plaque. The “Entrance in Front” sign, which Ennis so routinely ignored, covers an inconvenient window.

Oh, the laundry? The steam vent, the steam, and the hot water heater were all props; the business downstairs is an electronics and photo store. Friendly Harley Brown, who, with his wife Cindy, owns the building and runs the business, enjoys recalling the summer of 2004 when his property was “Brokeback Central.”

Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering private property.
