I'll start this post with a couple of loose ends. While I was looking through 'The Dukes in Hollywood' again I spotted this scene. While Boss and Rosco are trying to avoid studio security we get to see a wider shot of the back of the haunted house last seen in 'Cooter's Confession' (see 3rd picture here). This was obviously a prop store when Dukes was filmed, although I think it's just a car park now. I haven't been able to find a clear picture of building #19 in Dukes, so to try to sort out the Cottonwood Boarding House mystery I searched for images from other shows. This is the same building as it appeared in 'Gilmore Girls'. Apart from the color change it's clear from this picture that Cottonwood Board House is building #19 (right opposite Hazzard's only boarding house!). This is the hospital where the Dukes go to visit Robby in 'Cale yarborough Comes to Hazzard'. It appears to be the same as the one used in 'Brotherly Love'. I didn't spot any changes or new stores in the next few episodes (apart from the return of the post office and O'Connor's Paint Supply), so the next picture is from 'The Haunting of J.D. Hogg'. It's building #21 playing a boarding house once again, but ownership has changed hands from Mrs. Parker to Mrs. Oxford. Daisy is just dropping Mr. Winkle off.

Well CD, I've been back to 'The Dukes in Hollywood' to check out your theory. I thought I'd watched the episode fairly carefully for unusual angles, but I missed the reflection you mentioned. Here's a different view of the street in question. First a picture to set the scene. The Dukes are standing roughly where I've marked 'a' on the map above. Note the poster in the window to the right of the street lamp. This is the view from the window where the spotlight falls. It's above the point marked 'b' on the map. The brick building with the fire escape is the one I've highlighted in orange on the map. When this episode was filmed it's obvious that the building that appears to the left of it on the map hadn't been built. This is the shot that CD was referring to. The reflection is in the window just behind Luke. The 'Palmist' poster in the window identifies this as the steps that were shown above. The door is slightly ajar, so it looks like it's reflecting the building that would have been where arrow 'c' is pointing. The map in this post shows what the building looks like now, but I'm happy to accept that the State Capitol/State Courthouse/Hospital was originally located here. I think CD has solved the mystery - thanks for your help.

The Collectors' Book Store is still visible on the Google Street View link above, although I'm not sure if it was still in business when the picture was taken. It sounds like a great store that would have kept me both happy and broke. The 'tourbus' parked outside looks a bit dubious. Did anyone else notice that the Pantages sign is in the typeface Hobo - the Dukes of Hazzard font?. Probably just me!. In 'Go West, Young Dukes' Boss suggests that they go to Capitol City to get his deeds to the Duke farm authenticated. He takes them to 'Steven R. Lampke', whose business is between McKinsey's and the fine arts gallery in New York Street. The Eckol's signs from the gallery windows seem to have gone since we were here a couple of episodes ago, and there were law offices where the graphologist now resides. Sleepy City is (of course) Laramie Street. Here's the forerunner to The Boars Nest, 'Thadius B. Hogg's Golden Palace Saloon'. It was nice to see that Rosco's predecessor had trouble with his vehicle as well. The gray building to the left of the tree must have been Sleepy City's version of Rhuebottom's. It's Becky's Dry Goods and Sundries. This is the blacksmith's run by Cooter's distant relative, Jeeter Davenport. Finally, in the last season, Ben Jones won his battle with the show's producers for his character to have a beard!.

Sorry Roger, BL and Lizzy have this one right. Flash fell asleep. Q. In 'Go West, Young Dukes' Boss claims that his deeds to the Duke farm look legal to him. What does Uncle Jesse claim are the only two legal things that Boss has ever done?.

Plus the drivers get a chance to turn right . (Sorry Garrett - couldn't resist)

This is roughly the same intersection as the picture above, but from a different angle. Most of the signs for McKinsey's (the department store from 'No More Mr. Nice Guy') have been removed, although the projecting wall sign is still there - I'm not sure if this was ever visible in 'No More Mr. Nice Guy'. In the background is the iconic Warner Bros. water tower. This short section of houses is known as Brownstone Street. The buildings at the far end are part of New York Street. I'll finish this episode with a couple of pictures from the chase at the end. This is Warner Bros' old west set, Laramie Street. You can see Mufn's map of the area in this post. This set has since been torn down and replaced with a street of modern houses (as previously mentioned by Mufn). This one shows the saloon and a few more stores.

Being a painter sure was a dangerous occupation in Hazzard, and fishing was a surprisingly risky hobby!. I thought that 'The Dukes in Hollywood' wouldn't yield many pictures, but in the end I could've included more. As it is, they're split over two posts. In this episode the Dukes (with Boss and Rosco) make the long journey from Burbank to Hollywood!. In Los Angeles we first see the General cruising down Vine Street past the Capitol Records building (or should that be Capitol City Records). Strangely, the next shot shows them a few miles south east of there on the Hollywood Freeway (see picture). This was an easy location to spot due to the top of City Hall being visible in the background. Amazingly, the big sign is still there, although the 'Temple St' part has been blanked out. Take a look for yourself on Google Street View. Everyone is back where they should be when they take the turn from Vine Street on to Hollywood Boulevard. The buildings at this intersection are still recognizable - even the 'Pantages' sign looks the same. You can see for yourself here. "After a Hollywood tour and a good night's sleep at a fancy motel - complete with indoor plumbing - the Dukes reported for work with their probation officers, Boss and Rosco". It will come as no surprise that 'Majestic Studios' is actually Warner's studios. The picture below shows their arrival at gate 2 on W. Olive Avenue. The Mobil gas station has been replaced by a 3-storey building, but the 'Melody' sign on the right is still there (slightly hidden by bushes). Click here for Google Street View. I'm not going to document all the businesses/locations on the set because they have nothing to do with the story. I've included a few that I found interesting. After making their way through the sound stages, the Dukes arrive on set. This is the unnamed street that we last saw in 'Big Brothers, Duke'. The Big Brothers building is the one on the left. Just visible in the middle distance above the General's rear window is a fake New York subway entrance. Not a great landing!. Most of the action takes place around New York Street. The building behind the General has previously been used as the Bank of Capitol City.

Dumbo Shame you missed out on that job as Goofy, Roger .

Bo and Luke later return to McKinsey's to try to find the real story behind the prizes. On their way back to the General they pass Eckol's Fine Arts Gallery. They must really be into their fine arts in Capitol City with a Fine Arts Theater and gallery. To the right of Eckol's is this newsstand where Luke picks up a newspaper. Initially I thought it was the same as the one used for secret meeting in 'Undercover Dukes Part 2', but I checked out this post and there are several differences. Unusually, Bo doesn't but a car magazine. As mentioned in one of the posts above, the post office (building #11) has become the 'Hazzard Coffee Shop'. Joe's Hardware (building #12) has also changed. Now it's got blue/white signage saying 'Hazzard Hardware' and 'Sporting Goods'. At least it looks like Boss didn't get to own either of these businesses. I nearly missed this one. O'Connor Paint Supply, which has been a part of Hazzard Square since 'Swamp Molly' (the first California episode), has disappeared. It used to be in the empty store roughly in the center of the picture.

We have a winner, and the winner is ... Lizzy - well done Lizzy. At the current prices we're paying here I'd get about one and a quarter gallons of gas for $10 . At least the price of soda hasn't gone up as much. I never mentioned it in the Hazzard Square thread, but the list of services provided by Cooter in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' is different from other episodes. It's a lot more farm based. Q. In 'The Dukes in Hollywood' why did Flash fail her movie screen test?: A) She ran off She bit the director C) She barked at the lead actor D) She wouldn't roll over E) She fell asleep

Thanks for looking again CD. From what I can see, the balcony and the number of shallow arches are the same. Also several of the buildings down that street have been successfully framed to look like they've no other buildings around them. After a brief spell in French Street, Capitol City is back in New York Street for 'No More Mr. Nice Guy'. Daisy becomes the 1 millionth customer at the generically named 'Capitol City Department Store'. When she gets there it appears that the store is called McKinsey's. It's the building at 'F' on the New York Street map. In the background is the Fine Arts Theater, although the main signage now just says 'Fine Arts' (no 'Theater'). To the right of McKinsey's are some law offices. It looks like they've used the same sign as the one in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' (see above), although on a completely different building. As the Dukes drive away we get to see some more buildings of Capitol City. I think the restaurant on the left is called Hurley's (see inset). The only word I can make out underneath is Seafood. Next to that is the St. Regal Hotel. On the right is a building simply marked 'Theatre' (note British spelling again).

I'm there too .

According to this article Red Bull are rumored to be pulling out of NASCAR at the end of the season. They currently own/run the cars driven by Kasey Kahne (#4) and Brian Vickers (#83). Lack of success and reduced viewing figures in their target demographic have been suggested as possible reason for the exit. Red Bull also has two F1 teams: Red Bull Racing (RBR) and Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR). By contrast to their results in NASCAR, RBR has the reigning World Champion, Sebastian Vettel, driving for them and are currently leading both the drivers' and constructors' championships. STR is less well funded, and is used to find young drivers to move up to the RBR team.

Welcome back Carolyn, I hope you can stick around this time. Good luck with the new job.

You must have been a young man in your mid- to late-teens, so I can understand the appeal Charlie's Angels must have had . I'm sure Garrett would like that answer BL, but I'm afraid Roger was right. Q. I've just posted this picture from 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' in the Hazzard Square thread, but how much was a gallon of gas when the Dukes acquired the General?: A) 24.9 cents 29.9 cents C) 34.9 cents D) 39.9 cents E) 44.9 cents

Most of 'Happy Birthday, General Lee' takes place back when the Dukes first acquire the General. Changes were made to the appearance of Bo, Luke and Daisy to make them look younger, Boss was slimmer and Rosco had a moustache, but very little had changed in the square. All the buildings had the same businesses as at the end of season 6, with the exception of the post office which became a coffee shop. I have a picture of that in one of the next posts. At Cooter's the only change was a reduction in the price of gas. If you look back to the pictures from 'Swamp Molly' (the first California episode) on the first page of this thread you'll see that Cooter didn't have gas pumps in the beginning, and the 'Hoggoco' signs didn't appear until a couple of seasons after the pumps. This is the Genetic Research lab from 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke'. There aren't really any clues to its location, except that there's a parking lot sign (and parking lot) visible as the camera pans to the right. The conveyor belt on the left looks similar to the location used as the back of the Atlanta Museum in 'Along Came a Duke' (see the 3rd picture in this post). The coloring of the building is similar to the sound stages, but I'm still not sure where it was filmed. From the same episode is the interior of Boss's bank. I think all the bank interior shots were filmed inside building #3. I've included this picture because at some point the interior of the bank changed, and I missed when. Here is how the bank looked back in 'Money to Burn' from season 1. The sign by the front door and the painting on the wall are the same, even the teller windows are the same, but they have moved to the other side of the room. Initially I thought the painting was on a wall where there should be a window (going by the outside of the building), but if you look at the picture above it looks like there's a downward staircase just to the left of the front door.

opera I can't claim this joke as my own, I saw it somewhere online during the week: I asked LeBron for a dollar, he gave me 75 cents back. He doesn't have a fourth quarter.

Season 7's pictures begin with the robbery in Capitol City. The Assay Office is building #27 in French Street. The window signs say 'Capitol City Assay & Refining Office'. Building #26 (to the right) is briefly visible, but I can't make out the signage. The Capitol City Police Station is in building #29. Next door are the Law Offices, upstairs at building #28. We get to see the downstairs shop in both the robbery scene and this escape scene, but I can't see any writing to tell me what it is. Back in Hazzard, and across the square, the gap between buildings 15 and 16 now has a fence across it (at the back of the shot), possibly left over from the truck rental yard in the previous season. The redeveloped building #16 (shown on the maps) comes much closer to building #15 and the gap is no longer a road at all. Compare this to the large opening seen back in 'Route 7-11'.

Akron, Ohio

Just for Roger: It was actually several pictures of Daisy, but I won't quibble. Q. In 'Undercover Dukes' what number was MB Carver's race car?: A) 04 14 C) 24 D) 34 E) 44

The season 2 DVD extras includes 'The Stunt Show' from the 2004 Dukesfest. It looks like the General featured in the video is the same as the one in the picture above.
