Roger, it was Tom Pryor (had to look it up
), played by R.G. Armstrong. -
In 'Deputy Dukes' Hazzard Square got its first acting role, playing the part of Springville. Several of the stores were redressed and the roads were covered in mud (I wouldn't have fancied cleaning up afterwards). First is building #3, usually the bank in Hazzard, but in Springville it's the Springville Hotel (the pickup truck is the same one used by Swamp Molly).
Building #4 has been changed to a hardware store. When the car chase approaches from the other direction it looks like the name is 'L & S Hardware' (see inset at top), but the name only appears briefly. Building #5 is still 'Rick's Pool Room' and building #6 is not seen.
Working along the row, buildings 7, 8 and 9 (Pharmacy, Theatre and Julius Berg) are the same as previous pictures, although the theatre now has the familiar ticket booth at the front. Building #10 is another hardware store.
In Springville, building #11 (usually the post office) is 'Jim's Florist'. I didn't see a name on building #12, but there is a 'For Lease' sign in the window (not shown here).

Points to everyone who said "13".
Familiar brand names rarely appeared in Dukes, even to the extent that tape was placed over manufacturer's logos on many vehicles. This was not always the case in the early episodes, for example the 'FORD' text is clearly visible on Uncle Jesse's stepside pickup in the Georgia episodes.
Q. In 'Swamp Molly' which household name appears on the gas pumps at the Boars Nest (it was obviously before Hoggoco
)?:A) Amoco
BPC) Chevron
D) Exxon
E) Mobil
F) Shell
G) Texaco
H) Union 76

Buildings 4, 5 and 6 are shown here in a grab from 'The Big Heist'. Building #4 seems to be called 'Fletchers', as can be seen from the inset image taken from another angle. Building #5 starts out as 'Rick's Pool Room and Lounge'. This signage is seen in several episodes. Only a small part of building #6 is shown here, the full sign (visible later in the episode) says 'Dan's Auto Supplies'.
A closer shot of the same scene reveals that building #4 is in fact the 'Poodle Parlor'. Who'd have guessed that Hazzard had one of them, I don't remember it being involved in any stories.
By 'Double Sting' (5 episodes later) building #4 still carries the 'Fletchers' sign but has become 'Pauline's Poodle Parlor'. Hazzard Bank (#3) is also visible on the left.
Building #1 has its first business in 'Money To Burn'. The signage says 'Rutherford's Mens Wear'. Like the Poodle Parlor I think this was purely background and never used in a show. The chase involving the Tri-Counties car shown here and the Duke boys in the hearse goes past buildings 26-30. The Tri-Counties car demolishes the front of one of these (#29 I think) which seems to be the 'Surplus Store', although I could only get very blurry grabs of this. It's the only building in this row that has a name on it.

Thanks for helping Hoss.
I like posting on this thread because on the message board it says "Roger Duke....I just bought a '69 Charger"
LOL Ya can't blame a feller fer dreamin'
Surely "Roger Duke...I just bought a white '73 Ford pickup" would be more your style Roger

I've just noticed that Swamp Molly's pickup shares its license plate with the semi in 'Route 7-11':
I don't know how Rosco missed that - he had a close look

Here's the next set from season 1. This time buildings 7 to 12.
Building #7 originally had a sign saying 'Pharmacy'. This screengrab is from 'The Big Heist'. It would later change to 'Drug Store'. Next door is building #8 (although buildings 7 & 8 are clearly one building) . During season 1 this was painted white and simply signed 'Theatre ***'. The British English spelling of theatre surprised me, but apparently the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) spell it that way (I assume these aren't the guys currently enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya). The usual US spelling was later used when it became 'Hazzard Theater'.
Building #9 was initially 'Julius Berg'. I think the window text says 'Attorney At Law'. The sign is visible in 'The Big Heist', but I couldn't get a clear grab until 'Double Sting'. This building would become the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'.
Building #10 virtually always sold furniture, here in its first incarnation as 'Furniture Mart'. There is a name on the left of the sign, but I've never managed to read it. It looks like it starts 'Mc C...'. This sign alternates with 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' in the early seasons. Building #11 is already the post office, although the curtains change color regularly and opening times and posters in the window come and go. Between these 2 buildings is an entrance marked 'USO'.
Finally on this block is building #12. The signs in the window say 'Fanny's Fabrics'. This store later gets better signage before becoming a hardware store. The post office is also clearer in this grab. The window signage was much larger here than in later seasons.

Hi greenmonsta. There are different ways to add pictures here on HNet:
1) The easiest option is to click the 'Manage Attachments' button in the 'Additional Options' box below the text entry box when you are writing a post. The downsides to this method are that your picture size is limited and non-members don't get to see your pics.
2) Click on 'User CP' in the menu bar at the top of the screen and choose 'Pictures & Albums' in the 'Networking' section. These pics are stored separately to you posts.
NB. I may be wrong, but I think the at least the 2nd option is restricted until your moderation period is over (usually 10 posts). You won't be able to add an avatar until then either.
3) My prefered method is to use an image hosting service. There are many free ones around like photobucket, flickr, and imageshack. Personally I use photobucket which allows files up to 1024 x 768 pixels for free users. The moderators widened the posting area of the forum recently so files up to just over 900 pixels wide can be accommodated without stretching the sides, but larger files can be used. I find 800 x 600 works quite well, and most cameras take photos in that ratio (ie. 4:3).
I hope that wasn't too technical. Please feel free to PM me if you need help. I'm looking forward to your pics.

Unfortunately I only knew the last one because I looked it up.
That's fine with me. I don't think there's anything in the rules to stop you

There's also a scene in the Burt Reynolds movie "Hooper" that I'm pretty sure was filmed on this lot at the gazebo.
I'll have to check that out, I've got it around here somewhere. I do know that I caught myself watching a bit of 'Gilmore Girls' a couple of weeks back, just because I knew it was filmed here. Luckily the square showed up about 5 minutes in and my curiosity was satisfied
.Isn't building 21 the boarding house, where Enos lived?I believe it is, but I haven't got a screengrab of it yet. Feel free to post one yourself. I'm hoping this thread will include a lot of pictures, so apologies to anyone on dial-up.

Well done Lizzy - I knew someone would know the answer. Here he is on the left (new question below):
According to Rod's page on IMDb it was his only acting role.
Q. Sticking with 'Repo Men', Uncle Jesse warns Bo and Luke about going to court, but what's the missing number in the following quote?:
"... juries is made up of parents. And parents is the mamas and daddies of all those girls you've been chasing since you were __. They'd hang you before lunch."
A) 10
11C) 12
D) 13
E) 14
F) 15

Many of us here have all 7 seasons on DVD, but I'm sure we're all at different places. From reading other posts it looks like most of us watch through from start to finish and then start over again - I know Roger made it a New Year's resolution to watch more
.From time to time we do come to an agreement for a group to all watch the same episode at the same time, sometimes in conjunction with the chat room. Keep an eye out for the next one, or suggest one yourself.

Welcome to HazzardNet Driver. I look forward to reading your "special story".
I've recently had the yearning to fully immerse myself into the program again.I know what you mean. I never had any Dukes on VHS, and CMT isn't shown over here, so for years I had to make do with sporadic re-runs on TV. When the DVDs started coming out, that was it - I had to have them

Here's our first look at Cooter's (#22 on the aerial views) from 'Swamp Molly'. Thanks to Ben Jones's efforts it stayed fairly much the same throughout all 7 seasons. Sadly, as mentioned above, this building has been replaced.
From the same episode, and next to Cooter's, is a very clean looking Rhuebottom's (#23) with a very clean looking Uncle Jesse truck outside. I think Rhuebottom's remained a constant fixture throughout all 7 seasons, although its appearance changed (as I will document in the future). Again this building has been replaced.
Beside Rhuebottom's is Carol's Jewelry. This business seems to have no entrance, and I think 'Luke's Love Story' was the only episode it appears in (I may correct myself later). O'Connor Paint Supply (#24) is just past Carol's. As I pointed out in this thread, this is merely a facade with nothing behind it.
By 'The Big Heist' (2 episodes later) Carol's Jewelry has gone and Rhuebottom's is looking much dirtier. The impound yard where Neil Bishop's car gets towed to is just off the right side of this picture.

Whilst working on my recent Fan Art project, Buildings of Hazzard, I realised how many changes take place to the stores and other buildings around Hazzard Square. I thought we could have some fun recording the changes.
Most of us know that after the Georgia episodes Hazzard Square relocated to the back lot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Below are 2 different views of the square as it is now. I have numbered the buildings for reference purposes. As you can see, the square hasn't changed that much, notable exceptions are: building 10 has been re-clad; buildings 16, 22, 23, 24 and 25 are totally different and have been rebuilt since Dukes.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz19/HossC_2010/HazzardSquare2.jpg
The following buildings stay the same in virtually every episode:
3. Bank of Hazzard (Boss's Bank)
4. Barber Shop
7. Drug Store, Ice Cream Parlor & Bus Stop
11. Hazzard County US Post Office
13. Hotel
18. Hazzard County Gospel Church
20. Boss Hogg's House
22. Cooter's Garage (now rebuilt as a house)
23. Rhuebottom's General Store (now rebuilt as a house)
24. O'Connor Paint Supply (no longer there)
32. Hazzard County Court House
33. Hazzard Police Station
Others only change a few times, but are usually one of the following:
8. Theater/Hazzard Theater/Hazzard Picture Palace
9. Hazzard County Telephone Company/Hazzard County Telephone and Telegraph Co.
10. Seth M. Berley & Co./Furniture Mart/Hazzard Emporium/J.D. Hogg Furniture Mart
12. Joe's Hardware/Hazzard Hardware & Sporting Goods
I have many more to add, and screengrabs to illustrate the changes, but my list in nowhere near complete so please feel free to jump in and add any other businesses you spot. If a business only appears briefly (one or two episodes) please try to give the episode(s) you see it in (and a screengrab if you have that ability). If you are not sure where the business is, give as much information as you can and I'm sure, between us, we can identify it.

Y'all seem to be struggling so I'll narrow your choices: like Paul Baxley's appearance, it was in one of the Georgia episodes.
Hazzard Square
in Dukes of Hazzard General Discussion

Everything's back to normal for 'Route 7-11'. Sorry about the blurry nature of the first shot, it's the best I could get. Jesse and Daisy (Yancy Peckinpaugh and Betty-Lou) are walking past building #12. It's hard to read the signage, but I think it says 'Dry Goods'.
We also get our first look at some other buildings around the square. Building #15 makes it's debut as 'Hotel Metropole'.
This end of the square has been re-developed since Dukes, and the original building #16 has now been replaced by a taller, longer structure that virtually closes off this corner of the square. Here's Rosco spying from the old building (it appears in the background in many other episodes, but I'm not sure if it's used again).
Most of the scenes with the semi truck at the square were filmed behind building 16. The area is still a car park, but has changed somewhat over the years. This picture is looking back at the square and shows the loading bay at the back of the church that I labelled #17 on the map. I'll return to this in the future. On the right of this picture is another look at building #15 from a different angle. The building to the left of the church is #19, but I don't think the one between that and the truck ever gets used (hence I didn't number it, although it's still there today).
