In the movie’s opening minutes, Marty McFly hops on his skateboard and grabs onto the tailgate of a pickup truck pulling out of this Burbank Burger King (the venerable diner Lancers can be seen in the background).

Marty quickly arrives at Courthouse Square, the Universal City set where many of the downtown Hill Valley scenes were shot. A long-standing fixture on the Universal Studios backlot, it used to be called Mockingbird Square, because To Kill a Mockingbird was filmed there.

Hill Valley’s high school was played by Whittier High School, Richard Nixon’s alma mater. The gymnasium where Marty’s “too darn loud” band auditions for Battle of the Bands is Burbank’s McCambridge Recreation Center.

Here’s where Marty meets up with Doc and, after a shootout over stolen plutonium, travels back in time to 1955 in the film’s now-iconic DeLorean. Upon arrival in the 1950s, he runs over one of the two pines on Mr. Peabody’s ranch, which somehow does not cause any horrible ripple effect. It just changes the mall’s name from Twin Pines to Lone Pine.

The DeLorean lands back in 1955 and Marty crashes it into a garage located at Golden Oak Ranch, which belongs to Disney and was also a filming location for The Waltons and the original Parent Trap.

Here’s where Marty’s mother lives circa 1955, and where the film’s oedipal subplot gets started when Marty interrupts the beginning of his parents’ courtship. Remember, it’s not okay to peep on anyone through binoculars as they’re getting changed, and George should not have been rewarded for it.

Scenes inside Doc’s house were shot at the Blacker House, another Arts and Crafts mansion designed by brothers Charles and Henry Greene (who also built the Gamble House).

Everyone in 1950s Hill Valley evidently lives in a stunning two-story Craftsman. Lucky them. George and Lorraine’s childhood homes can be found in real life on the very same street in South Pasadena.

The Enchantment Under the Sea dance, where the film’s climactic scenes take place, was held in the basement of Hollywood United Methodist Church, just north of the Hollywood and Highland shopping center.
