Today, October 21, 2015, is the futuristic day they travel forward in time in the classic movie Back to the Future 2. In honor of this, Reesha and I thought it'd be cool if we could get our city's Mayor to change the name of Yakima to Hill Valley just for today.

There's no reason why not, too. The city of Yakima is surrounded by hills and we live in a valley. Yakima is more 'Hill Valley' as Hill Valley is on the movies.

As we were talking about it, a lot of people are on board with the movie tie-in. Even the mall was changing it's name to 'Twin Pines Mall' in honor of the movie. Of course it's all in good fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. It's no different than dressing up like a different character for a day. We're just putting on a virtual mask and calling something something else just for the day.

From the words of Micah Cawley himself:

I officially proclaim Yakima as 'Hill Valley' for one day only, October 21

Thank you, Micah, for coming on and doing this. What fun!
