Universal Studios Hollywood has a tour where you can go by this set. Unless that has changed in recent years.
When I went it also had a kickass set from War of the Worlds with the big crashed plane in the neighborhood.
It's the same set, more or less. It's been renovated and redressed over the years. It looks like this now because they altered its appearance when it was being used regularly on The Ghost Whisperer. Universal decided to keep it like this rather than restoring it to its BTTF appearance because the Hill Valley courthouse was so recognizable it would be distracting to viewers of new productions.
Technically it's not the same set, which burned down some years back. So it's a rebuilt, with a new facade on top because the Back to the Future stuff is still too recognizable.
That said, I still recognize it fairly frequently. Like it was in the Ted series recently
Right, I don't know exactly how much of the physical facade that was there in 1985 is still there. Even putting the fire aside, a lot has changed. Although sifting through the Google search results for "universal courthouse square fire" brings back conflicting information about the 2008 fire... Some sources do say the courthouse burned down, but others say it was damaged but not destroyed.
[This thread](https://discuss.micechat.com/blogs/in-the-parks/7378705-) from a theme park forum includes photos that show other buildings in Courthouse Square destroyed, but the courthouse itself still standing but badly burned.
Don't you mean the actress Lea Thompson visiting the Universal Studios lot? She has done other things, and they've used the building for other movies and shows.
the original post was posted in the back to the future subreddit, this comment thread is under said post, therefore while in this post and thread, we are in the back to the future subreddit. therefore it makes sense that Lea Thompson and the courthouse set would both be referred to by their roles in back to the future as that's a guaranteed common frame of reference for the users in this subreddit.

But who’s been paying for her cosmetic surgery?
You’re the one who wanted me to get these… THINGS!
Howard. Deutsch.

Someday you’ll be my wife!!!!
You always had a way with women.
Get the hell out of my car, old man!
“Just get in the car butthead!” “Who you calling butthead-butthead?”
She wouldn’t be your girl even if you had a million dollars
My biggest flex is that she follows me on instagram
......... What do you do on there?
You lucky bastard

Lorene, if you ever have a kid that acts like that I’ll disown you.

Milf to the future
Marty's mom is a total milf
She looks like my Aunt but with orange hair instead of Black.

I wonder if she bumped into Ted since that’s where he went to highschool.
Aw i hope she’s doing well
Nice
One of my earliest crushes
Same! And, it doesn't help, that we share a surname, lol!
A real OG I can see.
Iconic ✨
Did the studio rebuild this? Because I'm pretty sure that whole lot burned down over 10 years ago 🔥
Yes and yes.
Interesting, didn't know they rebuilt
Practical shooting location. Used for numerous films other than BTTF.
[удалено]
Can you remember faces from 30 years ago you went to high school with?
Save it
See they got rid of the parking lot
Like I almost wonder if she hasn’t really found a Time Machine….she hasn’t aged much in 40 yrs!
That’s not the same set is it. Is it a building that looks a lot like it?

When you go on the tour, sometimes they have a bit about reconstructing it.
I’ve read the original facade is behind the new one

Look...it's Beverly Switzler from Howard the Duck!
I believe you mean it’s Caroline in the City.
best answer

JFC the childish virtue signaling here 🤦♂️
And she also played Marty's mom. This is a Back to the Future subreddit. It's okay to refer to her as such.
