From: "pugh jon%e.mfenet"@LLL-MFE.ARPA I just watched Gremlins which was free with Teen Wolf, and guess what I recognized? The town was the same as Back to the Future, but with some signs changed. They never gave a really good view of the clock tower, but the movie theatre he crashed into on his way back was the same one where Snow White was enjoyed by the little monsters until they "blowed up, sir". Just another proof it was a back lot. Jon Pugh

Last time I was there, they were shooting some scenes for "Knight Rider". I still think that the Mall Scenes were shot at the Orange County Mall, about the time of the last Fall DECUS, early December of '84.

I could have sworn that, just a couple of months ago, I "revealed" -- in this very newsgroup -- that the current tour of Universal Studios (like, in Hollywood) goes through that very "town square", and that it is specifically mentioned as such by the tour guide.
