I decided to take a little field trip today to visit two of the BTTF locations I’ve wanted to see since I moved to LA from Chicago. The first was the Twin/Lone Pines Mall (Facebook allowed me to check in there ) where Marty first encounters Doc Brown’s Delorean time machine. The JCPenney is now a 24 Hour Fitness. Here are a few pics.
This is about the point from which the Delorean launched for the first time. It had to accelerate to 88 MPH to initiate the time travel, as many of you will recall. I tested if I could reach that speed in the short distance available. I didn’t even come close ;-). Perhaps I’ll return soon with a performance car and try again.
The is the site where Marty happens upon the Lyon Estates construction shortly after he arrived in 1955.
(Movie pic for reference)
How it looks today.
Lastly, I stopped by Doc Brown’s house. It was on my way home anyway.
