Back to the Future Filming Locations part 1

the house in the pines

When everyone blamed Maya’s accusations on a grief-induced psychosis, Maya was prescribed the addictive anti-anxiety drug Klonopin. This debut thriller by Ana Reyes is a compelling narrative about the subtlety of memory and manipulation. It packs secrets upon secrets and will keep the pages turning. I spent all Super Bowl Sunday reading this book and instead, I wished I actually watched the game.

The House in the Pines Book Review / Summary

In the present, Maya tracks down Steven, the administrator of a Facebook page in memory of Christina, the YouTube murder victim. Because the clock atop the Courthouse stopped when itwas hit by lightning in 1955,they know exactly the moment when it will be struck. This performance takes place upon the stageat the same Hollywood United Methodist Church inHollywood,(which, in real life, is about 27 miles away from Whittier High School). It's for the "EnchantmentUnder the Sea" school dance,where Marty hopes to reunite his parents, by staging a mock fight and a'rescue' by his nerd dad of his young Mom (Lea Thompson). Themovie revisits the school (Whittier High), in 1955 Hill Valley (the UniversalStudios set), then gives us a new location. Orange Grove Boulevard,three blocks north of Colorado Boulevard (the street made famous by the Rose Parade).

Children are not permitted to use cell phones to call home. They must go the old-fashioned route and write postcards and letters home. Every summer, parents all across the Valley look forward to receiving letters and postcards from their children.

Design Inspiration

I have to admit, I don’t really mind suspending belief now and again for the sake of entertainment—but I thought it worked. I do understand this book is not everyone’s cup of tea, and I found many problems with it. This was a fun debut thriller with an intriguing premise. I’m always a sucker for an unreliable narrator, and Ana Reyes does such a good job with Maya’s point of view. The book isn’t compelling or believable as a thriller, but the author has potential in other directions. Ana Reyes is the New York Times bestselling author of Reese’s Book Club pick The House in the Pines.

Reviews

Maya yearns for that time in her own life, not out of some need to escape reality—reality is fine—but simply because she was born that way. Born to yearn, as some people are, for more magical times. This is her fourth acid trip, so she knows about the sadness of coming down, the sense of God having vacated the garden.

Families can enjoy camp tours, wagon rides, toasting marshmallows, zipline rides and archery, win door prizes and meet the camp’s staff. A complimentary barbecue lunch with hot Dutch oven biscuits and shaved ice will be served. 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).

Maya grew up without her father and knew little about her Guatemalan family, except a few stories. One story came from Jairo’s unfinished manuscript about a young boy named Pixán who goes on a quest to Guatemala City, only to have amnesia and forget his true, beloved home in a magical village in the clouds. I do feel like there were two book in there (neither really a thriller).

It's actually a grassy quad behind the main building, on the east sideof the campus. In the movie,they just parked the cars on the grass and the wide sidewalks to give theillusion of a parking lot. In the film, Doc Brown loses his family mansion building the time machine, and it’s too bad. He lives in Pasadena’s Gamble House, one of the most celebrated works of architecture on the West Coast.

Maya tells Steven she thinks Frank had something to do with both Christina and Aubrey’s death. On the date with Frank, Maya blacks out and loses hours of time, coming to with dirt on her hands and knees. Back in the present at her mom’s house, Maya thinks someone’s getting into bed with her and imagines hearing the phone ringing.

Naturally, we are back at UniversalStudios, on the Courthouse Square set. Having received a phone call from 'Doc Brown'(Christopher Lloyd), asking him to meet him at night at the "Twin Pines Mall", 'Marty' shows up there and is introduced to Doc's time-traveling DeLorean... And below is a 2009 shot of the same house,from Steve. You can see those actual gates on displayduring the Universal Studios tramtour. In the real world, Marty's home street  isa long way from both Whittier & Burbank.

Vanhoy ditched her Upper West Side apartment for a spacious North Carolina home last fall. Since she's mostly renovated small apartments, this is many followers' first time seeing her overhaul large spaces, like backyards and open-floor living rooms. But just like her 2014 post-grad apartment where she first started home designing, it's a journey many—including this writer—couldn't be more excited to follow. I do see why Reese’s Book Club selected it and I think it’s a good one for book clubs. The mystery of what happened to Aubrey and also the other woman at the diner is very interesting.

It seems to me that publishers are skimping on the editing because the editors they have are so underpaid and overworked. I liked the first few chapters but then got wise and felt it lacked anything really gripping. I did finish but was bored through the last 2/3rds. And was there an editor bc I felt it had many errors that could have been corrected if so. Yes we are well aware you and your dad have high cheekbones. Yes, to be a thriller it needed SOMETHING at the end.

Everyone in 1950s Hill Valley evidently lives in a stunning two-story Craftsman. George and Lorraine’s childhood homes can be found in real life on the very same street in South Pasadena. Who could foresee this pet project becoming a 500K-follower Instagram account? She wasn't even interested in design, let alone earning a living as a home content creator.
