Looked similar to me too so I went and looked, but I don't think it's the same building.
Thanks for looking that one out MaryAnne. I'm determined to solve as many of these mysteries as I can but, like Laramie Street, they may no longer exist.
We've seen this building from 'Welcome Back, Bo and Luke' twice before, once as the State Courthouse in 'Duke of Duke' and once as the State Capitol in 'Uncle Boss'. This time around it's Central City General Hospital (as pointed out by CDoherty), though I still don't know where it is. The design of the windows is similar to the 'Big Brothers' building which is in the next post. It's not the same building, but I suspect it may be another backlot.
Back in post #61 Roger asked about the 'Hazzard Bajou Theater'. I think this may be the building he was thinking of. The 'Bijou' (French for jewel) sign appears briefly at the start of 'Big Brothers, Duke'. Being Capitol City, we're back in New York Street again. This shot is taken through the building at 'F'.
The reason Roger may have thought 'Bijou' was a theater is that there is a theater only a couple of doors down (it may appear as a theater in other episodes, but I'm working through them in order). We've seen the theater before in 'The New Dukes', but the 'Fine Arts' lettering and red curtain are slightly different here.
Just next to the theater is the 'Capitol City Savings & Loan' (previously seen in background in 'Dukes Strike it Rich'), and there's a florist next to that. The Bank of Capitol City would be just off the left of this picture.

Thanks for yet more insider information Mufn. I'll check out the location for the Reunion movies when I finish the regular episodes (in about a month at the rate I'm going!).
I'm leaning towards the theory there being another building behind Boss' House at the time, but perspective can be a tricky thing.I think I'd agree with you there - there's no way it could have been Laramie Street.
Yeah, confirmed it. That location I highlighted used to be Laramie Street and it is no more. What a shame.It is a shame. Was 'Go West, Young Dukes' filmed in Laramie Street?. I've got about a season and a half until I get to that one.
Back to the pictures. 'Witness Jesse Duke' sees Uncle Jesse off to Capitol City, which means we're off to New York Street again. This first picture is Jesse arriving. The big building with the columns is the one marked 'D' on the map. In this episode it's 'Capitol City Library'. The building to the left was last seen as a Chickasaw hotel in 'The Treasure of Soggy Marsh', although I couldn't read the lettering here. The building with the red awning on the right was the Youth Center back in 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. Again the lettering is not clear enough to read.
Just a background store here. Jesse parks his truck outside 'Bette Lou's Beauty Salon'. It was the record store in 'The New Dukes'.
This is the jeweler's shop that gets robbed. It just seems to be called 'Fine Jewelry Ltd.' and boasts that it's 'Capitol City's Finest'. It was 'Ed's Cafeteria' in 'The New Dukes'. The sign just visible on the left says 'Orwell's', but just appears to be an entrance.
Uncle Jesse gets taken to 'City General Hospital'. I'm assuming this is stock footage because no cast members are shown. Is it a real hospital or just a TV hospital?. It doesn't look like a set.

Thanks Mufn, I knew someone with inside information would be able to answer my question.
Another picture here from 'Ding, Dong, the Boss is Dead'. It looks like it was filmed in French Street, although I don't recognize any of the stores. Maybe they appear in a later episode. The sign above the newspaper seems to say 'Real Estate', while the one in the top right of the phone box has the familiar initials 'JDH' on it.
Building #21 has been a boarding house before, but I don't remember anyone staying there until the Baxley Sisters in 'Coy vs. Vance'. For this episode it gets a new sign over the door and another at the sidewalk.
I wonder if Boss foreclosed on Seth M. Berley's mortgage, because as the General drives away from the boarding house we see that the store is now the 'J.D. Hogg Furniture Mart'.
When Darcy (the pilot) suffers a concussion in 'Comrade Duke' he gets taken to 'Hazzard Hospital'. As we now know, this is the house next to Boss's (I wish I'd marked the whole street with letters - isn't hindsight wonderful).

This catchy song was used for a perfume advert (from reading the comments it was Vera Wang). The group is fronted by Zoe Kravitz, daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet. They don't seem to have a album out yet.
I liked the way they covered Weird Al's Ebay song in the medley, but they got all the words wrong and never even mentioned the 'Dukes of Hazzard ashtray'
. -
You're both right - it's 'Joe's Hardware'.
Q. At the start of 'Coy Meets Girl', Coy and Vance are moving some antiques for a friend of Uncle Jesse. These friends are leaving Hazzard (much to the bemusement of Waylon) and moving to a town that shares its name with a neighboring county's sheriff from an earlier episode. Can you name the town/sheriff?.
(I know this is a hard one, so I'll post clues if no one gets it).

The Internet Movie Cars Database (imcdb.org) lists this 1972 Road Runner from the 2005 movie. One of the comments references an article about the movie's cars in Mopar Collector's Guide. I've checked out their back issues, and the article was split between the July and August 2005 issues. Maybe you can get hold of these to check them out. The only 1973 Plymouth listed for the movie is a Duster. No Plymouths are listed for the 2007 movie, but that doesn't mean there weren't any. I haven't seen either film for a while so I can't remember which cars were in them.

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.

Hazzard Square
in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion

After driving through New York Street, Bo and Luke arrive in another backlot that is used for the rest of Capitol City. I can't find a name for it, but it's quite close to the New York Street set (as indicated below). From what I've read online, this set was used for Gremlins and Spiderman amongst others. I'll post pictures if I get around to checking this out, or if anyone else has these movies, feel free to post pictures. I think the fire escape scene in 'Uncle Boss' may have been filmed here too (see the third picture in post #34).
This shot of the General arriving is taken looking towards the point marked 'i'. The background buildings include a hotel and apartments.
Bo and Luke finally make it to the 'Big Brothers' building. The basement steps that Andy Slocum is watching their arrival from must have been somewhere else, because I can't see them here. It's roughly at the place marked 'ii'.
As Andy drives off in the General, he passes a couple more businesses at point 'iii'. They include 'Chuck's Bar' and a bail bonds office. It appears to be a one-way street (see sign just above the General), yet the patrol car is already facing in the wrong direction when he sets off to give chase.
