Some more background stores from Capitol City now. In this one there's 'Dixie's Steak House' and Horizon - I can't make out what Horizon sells, it was hard enough getting a still shot of it. On the other side of the road the stores have completely changed since we were here last time, although no names are readable. Capitol City has also lost its library, it's now City Hall. The building on the right (formerly the Youth Center) is now the 'Mid-Town Athletic Club'. It's interesting to note that Luke called Sheriff Floyd of Hatchapee County after he gets knocked out. A later conversation suggests that Capitol City is in his jurisdiction, yet it was Sheriff Little of Chickasaw County chasing the Dukes to Capitol City Hospital in 'The Boar's Nest Bears'. Does this mean that the hospital is in a different county to Capitol City itself?. Back in Hazzard Square the hotel has had a minor makeover, and now has a projecting sign on the left hand side. Uncle Jesse's pickup is so dirty in this episode it looks beige instead of white!.

I don't need to correct you, it looks like you're right CD. That is Capitol City Hospital. I skipped through the episode looking for pictures, and missed the vital piece of dialog that named it. I assumed it was Chickasaw due to the opposing basketball team and the fact that Sheriff Little was chasing them. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. What can I say: "I ain't perfect ... just ...", no I've got to leave Bo's quote there!. As luck would have it, we're back in Capitol City for 'Twin Trouble'. The jewelers is down the same section of New York Street as the Fine Arts Theater, but on the other side of the road and about four doors down from the 'B' on the map. It's roughly opposite 'Bijou' from a couple of posts back. The getaway car is parked outside the Capitol City Hotel next door. The getaway car then appears heading in the opposite direction, and goes past the Fine Arts Theater. That yellow Mustang on the right looks familiar. The car then rounds the corner by the Bank of Capitol City. I've inset a present day map (the arrow indicates the direction we're looking) to show how this cul-de-sac in New York Street has now been blocked off with a building across the street.

Another episode, another hospital. There do seem to be a lot of different ones used around this part of the run. This one is the Chickasaw Hospital that Daisy has to visit to get a copy of Rod's birth certificate in 'The Boar's Nest Bears'. This also looks like a real building (though again probably not a hospital), but I haven't had any luck working out where it is. 'Targets: Daisy and Lulu' starts off at the Capitol City Airport. I have some pictures if anyone's interested, but apart from a public road in the background of one shot, and several small planes in another, there isn't much to give away its location. The rest of the pictures in this post are from later in that episode. This is the house to the left of Boss's house (building #19). Due to the surrounding trees and camera angles we rarely get a good look at it. This is the best I've seen so far. 'J.D. Hogg's Furniture Mart' only made it a few episodes into season 6 before being replaced by the 'Hazzard Square Emporium'. That's Boss and Rosco in the dresses!. The alley between the hardware store and the hotel seems to have been opened up a little (it's less dark). In the background you can see 'Hazzard Feed and Seed'.

It wasn't Artie, Roger, but seeing as you're in first I'll give you another try. It's not a trick question, and it was someone who appears in more than two episodes.

Hi Susan. There's two types of messages you can post: public messages and private messages. Roger welcomed you with a public message which appears on your profile page and anyone can read it. To reply to this type of message simply click on his name. This will take you to his profile page and you can add a 'Visitor Message' in the text box and hit 'Post Message'. Private messages, as the name suggests, are between you and another member. The easiest way to do this is to click on the member's name at the top of a post and select 'Send a private messge to <member's name>'. If you happen to be on their profile page you can also click on 'Send Message' just below the member's name and pick the option there. Private messages are sent in virtually the same way as public ones, so you should be ok there. I'll send you a private massage so you can see how they work. If you have any trouble posting messages just reply to this thread and one of us will give you a hand. Hoss

Hi Susan, welcome to HazzardNet. We're on opposite sides of the World, but I hope our paths will cross here sometime.

I'll keep an eye out for that one, but I don't remember it. Now that Mufn has confirmed the amusement park location as 'Magic Mountain' I thought I'd include a few more shots that I got from 'Lulu's Gone Away'. They're slightly out of sequence because I wanted to keep the Luke ones together. First is a picture of the bad guys entering the park. The next two shots are of one of the bad guys and Bo around the 'Jet Stream' ride. It opened in 1972 (a year after the park) and still seems to be there today, although the addition of other rides around it make it harder to spot in aerial views. The last picture is Boss with his sleeves rolled up, ready to attack!. In Luke's chase he goes past the carousel, through the hanging spongy tubes, over a wobbly bridge, avoids the 'Wizard's Castle' and ends up in a pit full of small plastic balls (not shown). Back nearer to the square, this picture is from 'Brotherly Love'. Tex Tompkins is using a payphone near his 'park bench for an office'. This shot was taken near New York Street, in a street called Embassy Courtyard, looking towards the building at 'E' from over by the trees . This is the hospital Luke is taken to after the car crash. It probably wasn't a real hospital, but it does look like it was filmed on location (not a set or backlot). There are fields off to the right and a road to the left. Behind it is a Shell gas station. I was suprised to see the Shell signs because hardly any brand names appear in the show.

Believe it or not, it was a bad paper model of General Lee that I found online that started me on the General Lee artwork I posted in the Fan Art thread. I wanted to make a better one, but never did get around to turning it into a model. This one looks much better than the other one I've seen. The designer of this one, João Carlos, seems to have been busy making lots of models according to his website. It also looks like he uses some kind of 3D modeling software for his designs (which I don't have ). I've just printed it out, and I used 100gsm paper. I know this won't mean much to those of you in the US, but I looked at the way you guys grade paper weight and didn't understand a word of it. If it helps, it's about 25% heavier than normal photocopier paper. I figured that anything thicker may make the more detailed parts harder to complete. I haven't started cutting it out yet, so I'll have to let you know if I was right . I'm also going to need to find some axles - I'm thinking about using drinking straws at the moment - I'll let you know what I end up using. I'm looking forward to the pictures of that one Mufn. It's going to take a good while to cut it all out. I think your pre-party time would be better spent perfecting the punch . Given just 5 minutes, I may have one wheel done.

Arbuckle Roscoe is the real first name of silent movie star "Fatty" Arbuckle. There's a very good series on the BBC over here at the moment about the birth of Hollywood, and last week's episode had a large part about him.

I'm going to give it to Roger and BL, even though they're not quite right. You both had the right building but the wrong name. Until I started the Hazzard Square thread I too thought that the large building facing the square was the court house. It's actually the 'County Building', the court house is on the other side of the police station and faces Cooter's. Here's the sign outside. As you can see, the 'Hazzard Water & Power Co.' is hanging off the bottom. These hanging signs are sometimes omitted. (New question below) Q. In 'Dead and Alive' Artie Bender is known as 'The Pitchfork Picasso', but who is called 'The Rembrandt of Hazzard County' in 'Money to Burn'?.

We're on to season 6 now, and in the first few episodes very little has changed. Away from the square, 'Lulu's Gone Away' finishes at the 'Tri-County Amusement Park'. Here's the entrance just before the bad guys smash through the gate. I'm guessing the fight scenes were filmed at 'Six Flags Magic Mountain Amusement Park' near Santa Clarita. If I'm right, that would make this the 'Colossus' roller coaster (when it opened in 1978 it was the fastest, largest dual-tracked wooden coaster). I haven't been able to confirm that this was the location, but the park was used in several TV shows and movies. I think Luke's fight took place in Children's World, which became Bugs Bunny World a couple of years later due to a Warner Bros. tie-in (another reason for me to think this was the location). If anyone can confirm or refute these claims, please let me know. Hazzard Square has had more than its fair share of attorneys-at-law in the first five seasons, but a new one appears when the Dukes need to consult one in 'A Baby for the Dukes'. Gary Butler's office is through the doorway between 'J.D. Hogg's Furniture Mart' and the post office. The last picture here is from 'Too Many Roscos'. It's just another shot of the house at the end of the street where Boss lives. The trees have grown a lot since we first saw it.

Well done Roger, you didn't even need a clue. The answer is Loomis. Q. I recently posted the picture below in the Hazzard Square thread. It shows the Chickasaw Department of Water & Power, but where is the Hazzard Water & Power Co. office located?. (I'm sure Roger has it in his notes)

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.

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 think I'd agree with you there - there's no way it could have been Laramie Street. 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.

From the Clint Eastwood movie 'Any Which Way You Can' - "Right turn, Clyde" .

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).

Hardway - Elevator Fight 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.
