There have been a number of queries as to the the location setting of 
Back To The Future.  ??Mill Valley?? (was that the name?) is actually,
in my guess, Lone Pine, CA, a small, beautiful city on US 395 in
east-central California (in the Sierra Nevadas).  The road sign near the
beginning of the film said US 395 and US 8, and I guess that US 8 was
put there to throw us off (:-).  And, of course, let us not forget 
Lone Pine Mall (formerly Twin Pines Mall, until Our Hero knocks down 
one of the two pine trees on the farmer's property while making his hasty
getaway).
I don't know this for a fact, of course, because I've been through the town 
only once.
