Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If fans regularly flock to Friends locale Central Perk, tour filming locations featured in Game of Thrones and book holidays to the island from Lost (no, it doesn't move), we're certain there are those among you who've considered a sojourn to the places that appeared in Vince Gilligan's beloved television series Breaking Bad.

So for any superfans currently planning a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico anytime soon, Journeypod has offered some necessary advice.

Rule one: don't knock - the house isn't only home to some of the decade's most memorable television scenes, but reportedly a woman named Fran - and a male presumed to be her husband - who would rather not have fans constantly requesting they look around her house.

Considering the residents had to put up with overexcited members of the public throwing pizza onto their roof in homage to the scene from the series that saw Bryan Cranston's Walter White angrily do the same, it's not difficult to understand why (creator Gilligan himself had to step in and instruct people to stop).

Apparently, though, the lady's husband "is more 'open' to curious onlookers, going so far as to kindly converse with fans about "...all the stories you can imagine from the shooting."

The good news is that just up the road, you can stop in at Twisters - an eaterie that resembles chicken restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos; perhaps you should just get your photo and stop in there instead.
