The mock gas station, which took over the Mobil at 6301 Santa Monica Blvd., is a part of a publicity stunt by NBCUniversal for its 'Quantum Leap' reboot.
“It was not as organized as this,” said Hilaree Caldwell of West Hollywood, who grew up watching “Quantum Leap” but also attended the 2021 ABC promo. At that event, she said, “Traffic was crazy.”
Cars snaked around the block and, once they entered the gas station, drove through a tunnel with a flashing light display and loud whooshing sounds, simulating time travel to the 1980s, where the reboot’s star travels in its pilot episode. “It’s kind of like a flashback to when I was younger,” said Victor Wong, a medical worker who drove from the San Gabriel Valley and was attracted by the idea of an event promoting a retro aesthetic.
An L.A. councilmember is proposing a ban on new gas stations within city limits. It’s an idea that more California cities are considering.
