the tourist attraction is a nuisance for the homeowner. I'm not sure what the homeowner was really expecting here.

The real Albuquerque house made famous by the methamphetamine-making character Walter White in the AMC-TV hit series Breaking Bad is getting a fence.

The owners are installing a 2 metre wrought iron fence on the front of the house used in the series, starring Bryan Cranston. The move comes after the owners have complained of countless fans wanting snapshots and selfies of the house.

Joanne Quintana tells KOB-TV that she loses count of the number of weekly visitors to the house that her mother owns. She said the tourists have caused disruptions that have made them fearful to leave the property unattended.

They had a problem a few years ago with people throwing pizzas on their roof.

It went from

in 2013 to this.

On Friday, a worker was seen placing poles and two women in chairs outside of the house’s open garage yelled at visitors trying to take photos. One woman shouted expletives at a reporter snapping images of the house and demanded the reporter stay away from property.


The fans finally drove this poor woman insane.

Could be worse. They could've bought the Rick and Morty house.

1. Trade photo op at Rick and Morty House for unopened McDonald's Rick and Morty Sauce.
2. Sell unopened McDonald's Rick and Morty Sauce on eBay
3. Profit.

I can understand it. BB is one of my favorite shows ever, so if I just happened to be in abq and was close I could see myself riding by, simply to see something in person that I've seen on TV a hundred times. There's something kinda cool about that.

Now...the people who are throwing pizza on the roof or actually walking onto the property, frick those people.

She was expecting that there would not be an influx of morons coming from all over the globe just to toss a pizza on her roof.

In the short term, she should probably just repaint the house a different color.

It'd probably destroy their world if someone told them that the interior of the house was actually on a sound stage.

The owner needs to change the exterior of the house. That'd probably be enough to get rid of most of these fans.

That's what happened with me. My brother was pitching against New Mexico, so made it real easy to make a trip out of it. She was sitting outside in the garage when we went there, but she didn't yell anything. Then again, we were far enough away and just taking pictures.

It's still a cool thing to see, even knowing that the "inside" of the house was a sound stage

The wife and I were out there two years ago for a wedding and drove by (there were a couple other cars that had decided to stop at along the street facing the house). The owner was sitting in her garage entrance reading from a tablet. At the edge of the yard were a couple of "NO TRESPASSING" signs.

I'ld just charge people a couple of bucks to take pics in the yard. Might as well make some money for your troubles.

You missed an important part of the story.

It's mainly for the pizzas fans are throwing on the roof. They didn't mind the fans until then.

I'm sure some rich fan would pay them double market value for that house.

But no, lets whine and complain about it yet stay put

It's a piece of shite house. I'd sell it while it's fame is still high.
