Target Village - The Bedford Falls Record Shop

The record shop can only be seen in the background, and I'm not even sure exactly where it is in Bedford Falls. But it's the best place to go get the newest tunes, including "Buffalo Gal".

The side of the box reads, "This was the favorite spot for young and old alike. They could purchase the latest popular music, or the grandest classics. Mary purchased the hit record, Buffalo Gal, from this very store. She played it for George on her old victrola (sic). It turned out to be 'their song'."

But first they needed to buy a second copy after she destroyed her first one.

Target Village - Potter's Mill

This building is huge. It is one of the three largest buildings in this collection.

In the film, it can kind of be seen in the background when the Martini family moves out of Potter's Field.

The side of the box reads, "Bedford Falls is named after the waterfall on the Bedford River. It is the falls that created the industry that gave the town its life. The old sawmill and lumber supply was the beginning of the Potter family fortune. The mill still provides jobs for many of the immigrant families who have settled in bedford Falls over the decades."

Target Village - Mr. Potter's Mansion

This building is huge. It is one of the three largest buildings in this collection.

In the film, it can kind of be seen when the young George, Harry, Marty, and Sam are sledding down the hill when Harry falls into the river. In a scene that was cut from the film, Potter watches the action occur from his mansion, and a no trespassing sign can be seen next to the river, marking Potter's property line.

The side of the box reads, "Built in 1889 at a cost of more that $250,000.00 the Potter mansion is the biggest and most imposing home in Bedford Falls. It is no accident that Mr. Potter chose a home that looked like a feudal castle. As the 'lord of Bedford Falls', Mr. Potter's home rules over all real estate in the community. As large as it is, nobody is ever seen visiting the old miser."
