Here we come to the second episode of this virtual tour through the backlot of the Universal Studios used in the trilogy of "Back to the Future" and the TV series "Knight Rider" and "Street Hawk". Take a deep breath ... let's start!

   Today we start with the analysis of the buildings located to the north, those located along the street that the DeLorean uses to reach 88 mph in 1955 (surrounded by a red rectangle). This aerial map refers to the current reconstruction of the set, which occurred after a fire in 2008 that destroyed most of the historic buildings. The set was entirely rebuilt with some variations of course that will show you at the end of this first episode.

   Marty after passing in front of the gym, while remaining attached to the jeep, turn right and follow the road that runs alongside the Courthouse and arrives in front of the "Town" theater. The same set of buildings, in a different color, can be seen in the episode "A Good Day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Two more shots of the same scene, where you can see the tectorial composed of tiles located shortly after the corner.

   Marty continues its way attached to the jeep. On the left you can see the usual set of buildings in the background and you begin to see the "Town" theater. The same buildings and the outline of the theater (also here referred as "Town") can be seen in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Afterschool Marty walks with Jennifer along the parking lot located in front of the Courthouse and in the background you can see the buildings, including a door-shaped arch. This architectural form can also be seen in the episode "Vegas Run" (1x04) on "Street Hawk".

   Marty and Jennifer are going to sit on the bench of the square and behind them you can always see the same buildings, among which the one with the roof made of tiles. The same building, in a different color, can be seen in the episode "A good day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Marty has just arrived in 1955 and bewildered looks around to see where it happened. Of course is located in the square of Hill Valley that even 30 years ago had a similar shape. Behind him you can see the buildings located to the north. The same buildings, in a different color, can be seen in the episode "A good day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Marty sees coming the Toyota 4x4 and stands up on the bench to admire it better. In the background you can see the buildings that, in a different color, can be seen in the episode "A Good Day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider".

   In alternative 1985, Marty arrives at the square of the Courthouse and sees the door-shaped arch that we have seen previously. The same arch can be seen in the episode "A Good Day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider", while a group of bikers walks by.

   In the following group of images you can see in the first picture at the top left, when Marty arrives in 2015 and he walks around the square of the Courthouse of Hill Valley. In the second image at the top right, it's possible to see the same group of buildings in "A Good Day at White Rock" (1x04) on "Knight Rider". In the third image, located at the bottom, it's possible to see the set of the square during a break from filming "Back to the Future 2".

   In the next picture you can see the set of "Back to the Future 2" during one of the guided tours to Universal Studios (period 1989).

   Marty trying to escape from Biff, steals a skateboard and literally jumps over the Ford Deluxe driven by Biff. In the background you can see the buildings to the north side, among which stands out the building with a peaked roof. The same building can be easily recognized in the episode "Vegas Run" (1x04) on "Street Hawk".

   In 1985, Marty is always attached to the jeep trying to go to school more quickly. After passing in front of the square of the Courthouse, he goes to the "Town" theater, near the dealership "Toyota". The same movie (with the same name) can be seen in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) and "Fright Knight" (4x20) on "Knight Rider". In this episode, Michael and KITT turn right in front of the movie theater and you can see more of the building that in "Back to the Future" will host the dealership "Toyota".

   In the following images it's possible to see the same shot in "Back to the Future" and in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider". Just missing the yellow building located on the right, but the theater is exactly the same: probably the two images were taken at times quite close together.

   In the following images it's possible to see the same shot in "Back to the Future" (but in the period 1955) and in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Marty finally returns in 1985, but ending with the DeLorean against the "Town" theater. Alongside you can see the same theater used in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider".

   Marty arrives in 2015 and he tries to escape from Biff and his henchmen. During the escape they pass in front of the "Town" theater. Alongside you can see the same building used in the episode "Fright Knight" (4x20) on "Knight Rider".

   Biff, in 1955, seeks in every way to convince Lorraine to go with him to the party at school. Lorraine runs towards the "Town" theater. You can see the same building in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider".

   At the end of "Back to the Future 2", Marty returns to the square of the Courthouse where Doc has just made back in 1985 the Marty of the first movie. It's possible to see the same building in the episode "Sky Knight" (4x04) on "Knight Rider".

   In the following images you can see part of the square and the "Town" theater in the two configurations 1955 (left) and 1985 (right). These images were taken by a security guard who worked for Universal Studios during the filming of "Back to the Future".

   In the following images you can see the buildings located north in the two configurations 1955 (left) and 1985 (right). These images were taken by a security guard who worked for Universal Studios during the filming of "Back to the Future".

   In the following images you can see a building located near the "Town" theater in the two configurations 1955 (left) and 1985 (right).

These images were taken by a security guard who worked for Universal Studios during the filming of "Back to the Future".

   In the following images you can see a different angle of the buildings located near the "Town" theater in the configurations 1955 (left) and 1985 (right). These images were taken by a security guard who worked for Universal Studios during the filming of "Back to the Future".

   In the following images you can see a building used as the "Town" theater in the two configurations 1955 (left) and 1985 (right). These images were taken by a security guard who worked for Universal Studios during the filming of "Back to the Future".

   In the next picture you can see, during a break from filming, the feast of the lady who distributes flyers to save the clock tower during the first "Back to the Future". Behind the lady you can see the buildings of the west side.

   Below you can see an image of Michael J. Fox (taken during the filming of the first film) in front of the Studebaker dealership in 1955.

   To conclude our virtual tour on the buildings located in the north, we can see here a picture taken in the square of the Courthouse during the filming of the TV series "Ghost Whisperer."

   Below another pic shoot in the period of filming of "Ghost Whisperer" where you can see how there is no longer any trace of the "Town" theater.
