I nearly didn't include this picture from 'The Revenge of Hughie Hogg', but then I took another look. Originally I assumed it was somewhere out on one of the ranches until I spotted the chimney and roof in the background. I think this may have been filmed behind Boss's house. If you take a look at the picture of Boss's house in post #25 there's definitely a building behind it. If you look on the maps it's clear that the buildings are no longer there, and there are more trees. Anyone want to agree or disagree?.
This is the 'Hazzard Gold & Silver Emporium' that gets robbed in 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine'. It's in building #2 next to the bank. The Hazzard County Gazette must have relocated somewhere else.
Later on in the same episode Coy and Vance borrow some tracking equipment from WHOGG Radio. It's located in building #26 on French Street.
After being up for lease as a light manufacturing property at the start of season 4, the hotel in building #13 quietly re-opened. In 'Ding, Dong, the Boss is Dead' it finally acquires a name: 'Ritz Plaza Hotel'. There's no prize for guessing who owns it. If you look carefully about a minute after this shot you'll see that the 'For Lease' signs are still visible on the back projection, and the General moves in a very odd way.

Tigger
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber;
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!
But the most wonderful thing about tiggers is
I'm the only one!

For those of you reading the Hazzard Square thread you'll know that a lot of the action in 'The Treasure of Soggy Marsh' takes place in the street behind the County Building. The second picture in this post shows the 'Chickasaw Hardware' store. Unfortunately, the sign is still visible through the trees when we return to Hazzard later in the episode.

Looks like you're the only one guessing at this one Roger. Sorry, but the answer is 94.
Q. In 'Good Neighbors, Duke' a hardware store opens next to the post office. It appears in many episodes after that, but what is the name of the owner?:
A) Joe
JimmieC) John
D) Jack
E) Jerry
(Hint: his name is on the door).

As the cousins escape from Sheriff Little's jail they actually run out of Hazzard Square. The ice cream parlor (in the drug store) is visible in the background.
Uncle Jesse is waiting outside the front of the Sheriff's Office, which is building #30. In 'Miss Tri-Counties' it was a Hotel.
We've already seen this building when the Dukes were originally trying to evade Sheriff Little earlier in the episode. While they were locked up it's become a hotel.
Finally, Sheriff Little crashes into the fence at the side of building #25 (he's just reversing out here). We don't get a clear look at the sign, but it's obviously not 'Apex Rent-A-Truck' any more.
-
On the other side of the print shop is 'Mid-City Apartments' (they're 'Upstairs'!). When the Dukes visited Chickasaw in 'Miss Tri-Counties', building #29 was the 'Chickasaw DMV' - this time it's the 'Department of Water & Power'. Sheriff Little gets a great cornering angle in this shot.
Another building that appeared in Chickasaw in 'Miss Tri-Counties' is building #1. Back then it was a dry cleaners, now it's 'Chickasaw Hardware'. Boss's bank and some of Hazzard Square can be seen on the right, but more of that later.
As the General speeds away from Sheriff Little it passes this building, which is near the 'D' on the New York Street map. It looks like the potted plant has been deliberately placed to hide the sign on the wall.
When it's in Hazzard Square, building #24 is O'Connor Paint Supply. Here it's a barber shop. Rhuebottom's has its sign covered with a red one, but it's only ever shown in the background so I couldn't get a decent picture of it.
-
I think that 'The Treasure of Soggy Marsh' is the first time we get to see the inside of Rhuebottom's, and we get to see it twice! (Mr. Rhuebottom is just visible on the right).
Boss then sends Daisy on an errand to Chickasaw to pick up some menus. This provides us with many pictures of new businesses as French Street, and bits of Midwest Street, are redressed to become Chickasaw. I had so many pictures that I'm going to have to split them over three posts.
The first is building #28, which for this episode is the 'Chickasaw Print Shop'.
This is the first building on French Street (#26). It's hard to make out, but the lettering on the window says 'State Bank'. A small part of Cooter's is just visible at the far right of the picture.
The next picture is actually from later in the episode, but it's next door to the 'State Bank', so I'm including it next. Building #27 is an unnamed bakery (complete with chef).

I was pretty disapponted in the language from Jimmie Johnson's crew chief. For some reason the time delay wasn't working so I imagine somebody's getting fined by the FCC. I realize the engine blew but, come on, a lot of kids were watching and he disgraced the whole race team with his immaturity and lack of discipline.
I had to look up what Chad Knaus said because the highlights show I get to see had been edited. All I heard was "You gotta be ... kidding me" followed by an apology from the commentator. This sort of thing seems to be taken far more seriously in the US than it does over here. I've heard similar language in unguarded moments in F1, golf, soccer and others. I'm not condoning or encouraging it, but usually the view is that the culprit was speaking in the heat of the moment and so long as the offender/commentator/host makes a clear apology then the matter goes no further. Unless the bad language was blatant, deliberate or continuous, the Broadcasting Complaints Commission (roughly equivalent to the FCC) would not get involved. I'm not even sure if Chad knew he was on-air. I bet he regrets it now.
I think the attitude to swearing in Ireland is even more relaxed than in the UK. That doesn't mean that we all go around doing it all day, just that less offence is taken when it does happen. The Irish also have the interchangable, but non-offensive word "feck" in common usage. This was popularised outside of Ireland by the sitcom 'Father Ted', and especially by the character Father Jack. I hope no one will be offended by
, I can assure you that it is viewed as funny and not at all offensive in either Ireland or the UK. In fact a cider company recently used the word in an advert, and the Advertising Standards Authority ruled that it was acceptable for use in a poster - there's an article about it here. -
Building #17 becomes a bus depot again to receive 'Vance's Lady'. It's also the place that Enos collects his footlocker from in 'Enos in Trouble' a couple of episodes later.
The 'Rapaho Drug Store' from 'Hazzard Hustle' is somewhere down French Street - my guess would be building #27. It's only seen briefly in the background, and is meant to be in Rapaho County.
Here's the corner near O'Connor Paint Supply (last seen in 'Lawman of the Year') from a different angle. This picture is from 'The Great Insurance Fraud'. There's a business name over the door on the left, but all I can make out is 'Surplus Furniture'. The poster in the center is one of the ones I recreated in the Signs of Hazzard thread.
In this picture we see Enos leaving the 'Capitol City Sheriff's Office' in 'A Little Game of Pool'. Unlike previous episodes that used New York Street for Capitol City, this is building #29 in French Street. 'Apex Rent-A-Truck' from 'Coy Meets Girls' (building #25) is still visible in the shots looking at Coy and Vance.

This picture was left over from 'Lawman of the Year'. Coy and Vance are trying to avoid Rosco and want to sneak into the post office to check the wanted posters. They park in the alleyway between buildings 12 and 13. Great plan if it weren't for four things: they park under a sign that prohibits parking in the "alley way" [sic]; they enter the post office through a door marked "Postal Employees Only"; the door they go through is on the wrong side of the alley (it was last seen as 'Uncle Charlie's Upholstering'), the post office is the other side; Rosco is outside the church with a clear view of the alley.
In 'Coy Meets Girls' Coy and Vance visit 'Apex Rent-A-Truck' to find out who knew about them renting a truck (it got hijacked). The rental office is building #25, which was still Boss's used car lot in the previous episode.
Here's a better picture of the house next to Boss's from 'The Hazzardgate Tapes'. Amongst other things it was Doc Petticord's house back in 'Duke vs. Duke'.
Otis Plunkett makes his one and only appearance in 'The Law and Jesse Duke', but for some reason we don't get to see his shop until Coy and Vance rent some camera equipment in 'The Hazzardgate Tapes'. Maybe his shop moved, because in 'The Law and Jesse Duke' he appears from a different direction when he reports that his shop has been robbed. It's building #5.

It could be even closer than that Hoss.
It's just across the field - I think Google Earth measured it just under 1km (about 0.6 miles). The 'Granny Annie' jump was here, where Perkins Road crosses the railroad.

The buildings of French Street are used a lot in 'Lawman of the Year'. This is the corner near O'Connor Paint Supply where the original impound yard was in season 1.
This is Rosco walking down French Street. In the background is Skipper Ward's surplus store (building #1). Rosco is standing next to building #29 which was the Chickasaw DMV in 'Miss Tri-Counties'.
The hole that Boss's jewel thieves use is on the sidewalk next to Boss's car lot (building #25, which seems to be unchanged from 'Share and Share Alike'). In the background are a couple of buildings from New York Street. The one with the big columns is at the point maked 'D' on the map of New York Street.
There's no long shot of the Hazzard Jewelry Store, but it must be somewhere around building #28. I like this shot because it shows the robbers inside the store as well as reflections of both Rosco on the sidewalk outside and Boss looking on from across the street. It looks like the word "Jewelry" has been misspelled "Jewlery" on the door.

I'm going to take a guess here. From looking around the maps I think it was filmed just south of McWane Blvd in Oxnard, CA. Take a look for yourself on Google Maps.
Here's a couple of screengrabs. In the first there is a double row of electrity pylons in the background (between Bo and Luke). I've inset a picture of the pylons I found near Oxnard.
This picture shows the view from the top of the train. On the left is well-tended farmland, but on the right the land is a lot rougher. In the distance a narrow strip of water can be seen just to the right of the tracks.
Lastly, the railroad jump in 'Granny Annie' was filmed less than a mile from here.

A) Jesse
BoC) Luke
D) Daisy
E) Cooter

After the last post I thought another map of New York Street was needed. I've kept the 'A' and 'B' from the original map (post #23) and added some more letters (I hope there's enough of them!). The buildings with numbers 1 and 31 are in Hazzard Square (Midwest street), while numbers 25 to 30 are French Street.
In the pictures above, The Mean Green Machine is first seen as it travels along the road between 'E' and 'F', but then crosses the sidewalk at 'F' as if it's come from the other road. The 'Bank of Capitol City' is at 'C'.
Another reason for the new map is because the Dukes head to Capitol City themselves in 'Dukes Strike it Rich'. The camera must have been near the 'E', looking towards the 'G' for this shot. In the background are the previously mentioned 'Capitol City Savings & Loan' and the Record Shop. You can also see 'McKinsey's' which features in a later episode.
This picture is looking in the opposite direction, towards the 'D'. The building on the left (behind the yellow pickup) was the 'Atlanta National Bank' back in 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. The doorway on the left is shown in close-up in the last picture.
Here's Boss outside the 'County Hall of Records'.

I'll kick off season 5 with some pictures from 'The New Dukes'. Here's Boss's house with newly painted shutters.
As well as the arrival of Coy and Vance, season 5 also sees the arrival of The Mean Green Machine. All of the bank robbery scene was filmed in New York Street (standing in for Capitol City). In this picture is a record shop, the Law Offices and 'Ed's Cafeteria' (with the green and white awning on the right). Off the right of the picture is the 'County Hall of Records'.
Capitol City also has a 'Fine Arts Theater'. I think we last saw this building as the 'Palace' in Atlanta in 'Enos Strate to the Top' back in season 3. Off the left of this picture is 'Capitol City Savings & Loan'.
Finally The Mean Green Machine reaches its destination: the 'Bank of Capitol City'. Next time the New York Street set is used I'll post another map to make locations clearer.

Am I missing something?. Barry Van Dyke played movie star Brock Curtis in 'The Dukes in Hollywood' in season 7.

Never heard your version before Hoss.
It's a completely different song. According to my CD, The Monkees spell their's "Valleri".

It happens to F1 drivers too. Last year Lewis Hamilton was fined $500 (Aus)for spinning his wheels and smoking his tires as he left the Australian GP.
Back in 2000 Jenson Button was caught doing 230kph (144mph) through France in his BMW. At the time he was only 20 years old and restricted to diesel powered cars. I heard a rumor at the time that BMW paid his fine because of the great publicity for their diesel cars - don't know if there's any truth to the rumor.
In 2003 Juan Pablo Montoya (then an F1 driver) was also caught in France, this time doing 200kph (125mph). He was less repentant, saying: “Who doesn’t go at 200 clicks on those motorways? I tell you, that car does 240kph no problem. I was taking it easy.â€. He then paid the fine in cash and got his wife to drive the rest of the way.
