Trivia: When the 2015 Marty Jr. is walking across the street and a car stops, almost hitting him, he bangs both hands on the hood and yells, "Hey! I'm walkin' here!"I'm walkin' here!" This is an exact recreation of Dustin Hoffman's scene in 'Midnight Cowboy'.
Trivia: The newspaper in 2015 is dated October 22nd, that's Christopher Lloyd's birthday.
Trivia: The vehicle from "The Last Starfighter" can be seen around the downtown square.
Trivia: After Marty and Doc arrive in 2015, Marty sees a news alert that the Chicago Cubs have won the World Series. On the real October 21, 2015 - the date at which Doc and Marty arrive in the film - the Cubs were eliminated from the playoffs after getting swept in the NLCS by the New York Mets, but won the World Series a year later.
Trivia: The Cafe 80's interior set is the same used for The Sting, when Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) meets Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). It is located at the Universal Studios backlot in California.
Trivia: The 2002 DVD release of both this film and of Part III is very misframed, with many elements cropped out of frame or not centered properly. The most obvious example is when Doc demonstrates the adjusting sleeves on Marty's 2015 jacket (the sleeves are cropped out of the frame so that you can't see the effect), but nearly the entire movie is misframed. The disks were later reissued with corrected framing, and all later DVD and Blu-ray editions have correct framing.
Answer: Yep, and there is, but they're both elsewhere. Doc's been committed to an asylum somewhere. When Marty first meets the alternate Biff, Biff tells him that he's supposed to be in Switzerland at boarding school - that's where the alternate Marty is.

Wouldn't someone probably see Doc and report that he escaped from the asylum?
Maybe, but no way to be sure, and they're not around long enough for that to be an issue anyway.
