One of my favorites hasn't sold. The 1937 Art Deco masterpiece in Medfield, MA has been for sale since 2022 and has gone from $3.175M to $2.495 and this time it's been on the market 91 days. The 7bd, 6ba home also comes with the gray house in the inset.

Large entrance hall.

Modernist Art Deco fireplace. The owners blue statues are very impressive. I wonder what they're worth.

The star of the home is the staircase. It's like a piece of art itself with it's intricate lines and curved glass block walls.

The dining room and the beautiful floor is the room you see thru the window, walking to the front door. It looks like it has doors that can be closed either for privacy, or to make a smaller room.

The lovely sitting room. Note the tall wooden indoor shutters on the windows.

The floors are original and have been beautifully refinished. In this room, a long wrap-around cabinet unit is a built-in.

Around the wall is a continuation of this room with a fireplace, then more shelving.

The round window has a wonderful blue floor and room for seating.

The large kitchen is a blank slate and features professional appliances.

The primary bedroom is a nice bright room.

Right across the hall there's a bath.

Lovely remodeled bath with the original tub and two slightly different sinks.

There are so many details to this staircase. Aren't these glowing lights lovely at night?

How the rounded window sitting areas look at night.

This is so beautiful, it's a dining area, but also a conservatory off the kitchen.

There are rooftop terraces.

There are 8.79 acres of land that include this ranch home.

Back to the Future: The Animated Series, s01ep03 "Forward to the Past" Review and Commentary

Onto episode 3! Previous episodes linked HERE.

In this episode: Doc invents something a supervillain would love to get their hands on, Marty is hit by a car, and Doc wipes humanity off the face of the Earth.

As many of you know, we were cheated out of a portion of Real Doc content last episode–due to the segment at the beginning being cut. This time, though, we get to see him right away. :) He's hanging out in 3,000,000 B.C. with the dinosaurs, and he's—he's doing great, everyone. He is cool, calm, and collected.

Doc begins to tell us about another time that he, Jules, and Verne were almost "dino snacks," which brings us into the cartoon portion. Goodbye for now, Real Doc. I'll be counting the minutes until I see you again.

Cartoon Doc is showing the boys his "proprietary subatomic ultrasonic molecular redistributor", which is basically a vacuum that breaks down the molecular structure of an object and disintegrates it. Which. I dunno, sounds dangerous to me. You could destroy a person with that thing. Just rip them apart molecule by molecule. Terrifying invention, Doc.

His intention is for it to be utilized at landfills, however, NOT to annihilate people. Jules wants to test it out, but Doc is worried about causing an accident if it malfunctions. He reveals that, in 1961, an experiment gone wrong caused him to accidentally break "every window in the Greater Hill Valley-Medfield Basin." And I know this is just a silly cartoon and not necessarily in line with any canon happenings of the actual BTTF universe, but this is a fun one to imagine as actually having happened. What in the world was Doc working on? How did he break every single window in that specific area?

Anyway, he decides a safe place to test it would be prehistoric times. And as SOON as the DeLorean busts out of the garage and takes off at full speed into the yard, Marty is suddenly there. Pinned to the windshield.

Doc screams in horror and slams on the brakes, sending Marty flying several feet away.

There he goes. See ya, Marty. I love this show.

So, turns out that Marty was on his way over to the lab and got no warning that Doc was about to come flying out. Yes, he was hit by a speeding car. No, don't worry; he's completely fine. (This is Marty, after all) He immediately gets up and tells Doc that he needs to honk or give him a hand signal before he takes off like that. No biggie.

Marty hands Verne a videotape of a movie Jennifer has apparently filmed, in which Marty is the star. And that's–that's it. Doc tells him they don't have time (yes you do, Doc. You're in a time machine) and catapults up into the sky via a very large slingshot. I assume this tape will come into play later.

Literal seconds after arriving in the Cretaceous Period, Doc and the boys are chased by a T-Rex and then carried away by a pteranodon.

There was definitely a better place to test out your molecule destroyer, Doc. If you'd tried, you probably could've thought of like 10 other options before visiting the dinos. You just like to complicate things and cause chaos.

Thankfully, the dinosaur is friendly and just takes them for a little ride before safely depositing them back by the DeLorean. Doc is just about to take the boys to test his atom-destroyer when they spot a giant meteor headed straight towards Earth!! After a brief moment of panic, Doc realizes his molecular redistributor might be able to disintegrate the meteor, but he needs additional power. 1.21 gigawatts, to be exact. He's able to get this power by rerouting the Mr. Fusion through the car battery. And just like that, he zaps the meteor and saves the day! The whole crisis lasts like 20 seconds, honestly; they figure it out pretty quickly.

So...Doc just prevented a major meteorological event from happening. They're surrounded by dinosaurs, and he stopped a giant meteor from hitting Earth. This will come back to bite him.

As they return to the car and prepare to leave, they discover that the battery is dead. It's not because of the Mr. Fusion thing, though, it's because Verne was sitting in the car and watching the videotape Marty gave him.

I have no clue what is going on here.

Also, can I talk about how weird it is that Marty is in this show so little so far? He was in a good deal of episode 1, but only had 5 seconds of screen time in episode 2 and only about 30 seconds so far in this one. Where is he? Where is my Mart-Mart? Also, where is Clara again?

Doc decides they can try to power the car using lemons. No, really. There is a convenient lemon tree grove nearby, and they connect copper, aluminum, and wires to hundreds of lemons and then run it all back to the car. Upon arriving back to 1991 Hill Valley, they find it to look almost identical to the Cretaceous Period. Surprise! Preventing a huge meteor from wiping out the dinosaurs actually had consequences!

Except. Um. They're not exactly the consequences I would have assumed would happen. Instead of dinos just sort of running rampant all over, they've evolved to the point of wearing clothes and driving cars? But they still look exactly like dinosaurs.

Here's a screenshot of the DeLorean next to the tire of a dinosaur car and one of a bunch of dinos wearing clothes.

It's all very silly. You know, except for the realization Doc suddenly has that everybody is dead. Or rather, they never even existed in the first place. Doc has literally wiped out all of human existence because he thought prehistoric times would be the perfect place to test out his molecular redistributor. May I remind you that Doc was against testing it in present-day because he didn't want to cause another incident like whatever happened in 1961 that caused all the windows of everybody's houses to break. Now he's gone and created a timeline without any people. Thumbs up, Doc. At least you didn't break any windows!

Here is Doc, sadly staring at a photo containing three of his loved ones whose existence has been obliterated. I do think it's cute that Marty was included in the family photo, though.

Obviously, Doc, Jules, and Verne must go back to the Cretaceous Period moments after their other selves have left and use the molecular redistributor (set to reverse) to put the meteor back in the sky. They complete their mission and leave mere seconds prior to impact.

We return to present day, where the car appears just as Marty is delivering the punchline of a joke to Einstein (he told the first half of it right after Doc and the boys left earlier in the episode. It's the classic, "Why'd the nerd throw the clock out the window? Because he wanted to see time fly," joke lol) Doc and the boys are reunited with Marty and Einie–still an alarming lack of Clara, though–and that's the end of the cartoon portion. BACK TO REAL DOC!!!

Real Doc makes a joke about making sure to bring his running shoes next time he visits prehistoric times. He's wearing an absurd amount of watches and an awesome shirt. Look at him.

Also, this scene led me on a mini-quest to find the origins of the "___ went to ___ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" thing. Because this is a really specific joke that relies on being aware of the trend of these shirts being sold as souvenirs. My research was inconclusive, though it seems that it may have started somewhere in the 1970s. Interesting! Now I'm curious: tell me in the comments or tags if you've ever owned or seen one of these shirts being sold at a tourist destination.

That's all for now. Join me next time to see Marty accused of witchcraft and put on trial.

The Mark of Wutasakompanin.

Nipmuc. Also known as Captain Tom or Tom Wuttasacomponom. A Christian convert at Hassanamesit. Vowed loyalty to settlers during the First Indian War, or King Philip's War, but was still hung by colonizers in 1676 after accusations of being involved in the burnings of Sudbury and Medfield (which Wuttasacomponom denied). 

This document, signed by Wuttasacomponom and others, reports to be submitted on behalf of “peoples of Nipmuck…the inhabitants of Quánutusset, Mônuhčhogok, Chaubunakongkomuk, Asukodnôcog, Kesépusqus, wabuhqushish and the adjacent parts of Nipmuk…” It pledges the submission of  inhabitants of praying towns to the government of Massachusetts. It’s signed in 1668, a little less than a decade before the War would begin. 

Below Wuttasacomponom’s mark is the signature of Job Kattenanit, brother of James Printer, whom we will write about at a later date. 

Wuttasaompnoms kin: a son, Nehemiah Tom.

Things we love to see

“This is my great-grandma, Christina Levant Platt at age 100, weeding her garden. She was born into slavery. Her “owner” was a wife that taught my great grandma to read and write secretly, which was illegal and quite dangerous at that time for both of them. She learned to read the Bible.

She had 11 children, she lost two, one son was one of the first black attorneys in US. She sent the 4 boys to college in Boston. Exceptional in those days.

She passed 5yrs before I was born but I love her as if I knew her. Family tells me she would say “ I put prayers on my children’s children’s heads”.

Around April 12, 1861, Christina was at the 1st battle of the CIVIL WAR, in Fort Sumter at Charleston Bay, South Carolina, working in the cotton fields.

She said “the sky was black as night” from cannonball fire. She saw a man decapitated by a cannonball.

She was the water girl for the other slaves as a young girl and “ the lookout” for the slaves in the fields for the approaching overseer on horseback as they secretly knelt and prayed for their freedom.

She would watch for the switching tail of the approaching horse and would alert the slaves to rise up and return to picking cotton before he saw them.

She eventually married a Native American from the Santee Tribe. John C, Platt.

After freedom, Christina insisted upon taking her children north as she knew they would not get a good education in the south, and that’s all she cared about. She died at age 101 in 1944, where she and her husband had built a home in Medfield, Massachusetts, the first black family to move there.

With great respect, I honor my great grandmother.

So much more I could say about this miraculous woman. She gave me much strength in my hard times.

Whenever I thought I was having a hard day, I would think of her and shrug it off.
