Not Just Any Parking Lot

The Delorean and “Back to the Future” are icons that are joined at the hip… a fact I didn’t know when I bought my car in 2005. But over the years I learned much of the Back to the Future (BTTF) lore.

Being in Southern California, I’m in close proximity to many of the locations used in the movies. Doc Brown’s house, for instance, is near my latest alma mater (ArtCenter) in Pasadena. This weekend, I had the opportunity to visit the Puenta Hills Mall for a socially-distanced charity car meet. After the meet I took my car to the parking lot pictured here. Why? Because this is the location where the infamous chase scene occurred in the beginning of the first Back to the Future movie. It looks very different now, but this is where Doc sent Einstein back 2 minutes in time, and Marty was later transported in to the 50s after being chased by two Libyans terrorists.
