So there's this part in Back to the Future (Part I) that made no sense to me. At the beginning of the movie when Doc "died", the mall he was at was called "Twin Pine Mall" (or something like that).
After Marty comes back from 1955, the mall's name on the sign is different. Now "Lone Pine Mall". Is this a goof or did Marty and/or Doc do something in the past to change it?

Marty does... listen to the dialogue right before the Libyans show up and watch carefully as Marty drives off from the barn.

This attention to detail is one of the many things I love about this movie. Other examples litter the sets, as you see businesses change From 1955 to 1985 to 2015. Yes, Marty ran over a pine tree, but I think the Doc also alluded to the old farmer and his crazy idea to start a tree farm.

Salsa: docmagik gave you the other hint that the movie makes about pines. I am 100% sure they changed the name of the mall in the future to reflect that incident with car/tree.
I never get tired of Back to the Future, the only thing that makes me sad about the movie is that Crispin Glover hates Steven Spielberg now. There's just something about hate that mars even the most pleasant memories.

Except that one had Adam Sandler (waves of suck slowly rising from his body) and it wasn't about time travel. And it didn't have Elizabeth Shue.

Strictly speaking it wasn't Marty that killed the 2nd pine that the Twin Pines Mall was named after. Old Man Peabody shot it when he was trying to shoot Marty, because he thought Marty was a space alien. (Not entirely plausible at the distance, but, oh well.)

Old Man Peabody shot the mailbox, I thought. I'll have to watch.
