3:11
the door up there that he ran down from
3:13
I'm going to sneak up here to the cabin
3:15
now and show you what the stairs look
3:17
like these are the stairs right here
3:19
that Michael J fox ran down from after
3:22
he read the family their mail the cabin
3:25
is in quite disarray now compared to
3:27
what it used to look like in the movie
3:29
well couldn't get inside but this is
3:31
where Michael J fox read the mail to the
3:33
people who couldn't read the ambulance
3:35
would have been right over there where
3:36
Robert is parked Michael J fox came
3:39
running right back out of there got back
3:41
in the ambulance and drove
3:50
off that one yeah what about Ellen in
3:53
Pakistan a dead
3:56
snake the road behind me here is where
3:59
my Michael J fox and the guy who played
4:01
the mayor drove in when he was giving
4:03
him the tour of the small town of Grady
4:06
I don't let the signs of prosperity in
4:07
urban sprawl here in downtown scale
4:09
we're still the same sleepy little
4:11
Paradise that many big city SS recommend
4:13
for their patients with nervous
4:14
disorders it's the common effect of
4:16
greatest natural ozone so you can see
4:18
the whole downtown area it basically
4:20
looks exactly like it did in the movie
4:22
right over in this area here is
4:24
basically where the statue would have
4:26
been right here holding the squash act
4:28
as a world class member hospital just up
4:30
the road with that's a comforting
4:32
thought benstone you like coffee you
4:34

4:35
go over here to this way there was a
4:38
makeshift building they built here
4:40
specifically for the movie which is
4:41
where the diner was they tore it down
4:43
after the movie was finished and left
4:45

13:14
same side of tree line and the water was
13:17
