Went to the filming locations in Albuquerque and it was wild

I finally took a trip to Albuquerque last month and walked around all the Breaking Bad spots. Everything looks way smaller in person, like Walt's house barely fits on that street. Has anyone else visited a show's real location and been shocked by how different it feels?

Man I used to think people were overreacting when they talked about how weird it feels to see TV locations in real life. But then I went to the diner from Better Call Saul and realized the whole place is basically a regular Denny's with a coat of paint slapped on it. It's just a normal booth where you'd eat a Grand Slam breakfast, not some major TV set. The show tricks you into thinking everything is bigger and more dramatic, then you show up and it's just a strip mall parking lot. Kind of takes the magic away but also makes you appreciate the camera work more.

Wait, it's literally just a regular Denny's? That's wild.
