Principal Strickland's House (1985)

Principal Strickland's house was featured very briefly in Back to the Future Part II in the alternate 1985. The house is located in Whittier, California just down the street from Whittier High School. I was a little nervous about this plank because this is where Marty had a shotgun pointed at his head while standing on the porch. Fortunately the neighborhood seems to more be more friendly in real 2011. The front of the house is a little different than it appeared in the movie. You can see the stairs are now on the side of the porch instead of in the front. Thanks to the homeowner's neighbor who helped me with the photo.

Twin Pines Mall (1985)

This was one of the locations I was most excited to plank. And why not? Twin Pines Mall was where the DeLorean time machine was revealed for the first time in Back to the Future. The mall is actually named Puente Hills Mall, located in City of Industry. JC Penny was the store  most visible in the movie, but that part of the mall is now a 24 Hour Fitness. Otherwise, the exterior of the building still looks very much the same. I planked on a guard rail next to the street where Marty road his skateboard to meet Doc. As I planked, I was able to enjoy the odors of happy-hour appetizers from the T.G.I. Friday's next to me.
