jesse pinkman’s house
from breaking bad posted in television by chewing_the_scenery
In season 3, Jesse lowballed his parents and bought Aunt Ginny's old house at 9809 Margo Street for half of what they were asking for. Blackmail over a former basement meth lab is a keen negotiating strategy. That was when he was 45 days clean and sober. By season 4 he was using again and the house became a 24-hour meth-fueled party / skid row.

Not to be confused with the popular filming location Johnie’s Broiler, Johnie's Coffee Shop in Los Angeles is also an example of the futuristic Googie style of architecture that dates back to the 1950s.
It was featured most prominently in Miracle Mile when Anthony Edwards takes a random phone call in the phone booth outside and learns about an upcoming nuclear war.
It's also where Tim Roth (Mr. Orange/Freddy) meets with his supervisor Holdaway in Reservoir Dogs after he gets on the inside with Joe's crew and where Walter and The Dude talk about the severed toe in The Big Lebowski.
Other movies where you can see the restaurant, which closed in 2000, are Volcano, American History X, City of Angels, Very Bad Things and probably many more.

You can find the tunnel (now sealed) and the substation (now cleared of the graffiti) behind the Belmont Station Apartments that were completed in 2008.
