Walter White

Having watched the AMC/Netflix series "Breaking Bad" and our crew at work producing a fun 5 minute video crossing banking and illegal activity, I was curious about filming locations.  After a quick look for "Walter White's house+Breaking Bad" many results and comments appeared.  Reading briefly and checking the address revealed we were not but 10 miles away and with interstate, 10 miles is not that that far.  Punched in the address, made turn after turn, was filling boys in on comments about the homeowners.  Apparently they have owned the home for over 40 years but allowed filming for financial gain hopefully.  Comments online stated the older lady was mean and rude while the gentleman was very nice.  Also noted was they usually sit in chairs in the garage with the door(s) open.  They have constructed a metal fence due to the popularity to protect their property.  After enlightening everyone in the van, we approached the last turn.  Carson said "I'm sweating!"  The pressure was building apparently. Sure enough, we made a quick pass and there they were, sitting in chairs just inside the garage door.  A street or two over and I turned around for another pass.  As we approached, I rolled down the window, and motioned like "Is it ok to take a pic?"  The woman vigorously shook her head and waved us on.  I followed her instruction and moved on without a pic.  As everyone agreed it was a very odd encounter.  I wonder if they like the attention or not.  It would definitely pass the time of day watching idiots like me drive by for a potential photo op.  Oh well!

The pic below is similar to the scene today except both individuals were in chairs to the right of the vehicle.
