  1. These pictures are from 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt'. They were not filmed in Hazzard Square (Midwest Street on Warner's backlot), but on New York Street, the next set over. I'll start with a map to show where this is relative to Hazzard Square. At the bottom left is the Hazzard County Building and Courthouse, with the bank roughly in the center at the bottom.

    NewYorkStreet1.jpg

    As Bo and Luke arrive in Capitol City they pass a bakery (where the guy in blue is walking). I can't read the name, but I think the arced text says 'Italian Bakery'. This picture also shows how the street lights are mounted on square bases to allow them to moved around easily.

    YouthCenter1_0222.jpg

    This is the entrance to the Youth Center. It is right next to the bakery (the two girls in the previous picture were walking past the right end of the building). I marked its location 'A' on the map above.

    YouthCenter2_0222.jpg

    Finally from this episode is the exterior of the City Morgue. This was harder to track down due to the buildings opposite changing over the years. It's marked 'B' on the map. I've inset the sign from the wall which is just off the right of the picture.

  2. Where is it on the episode...Capitol City?

    In the episode it is 'the county seat at Coreyville'.

    If I'm not mistaken it is also redressed as a hospital in season 5 episode Welcome Back,Bo and Luke.

    You're right, it is used as 'Central City General' in the 'Welcome Back, Bo and Luke'. I have a picture, but I'll save it until I reach that episode.

    I'm trying to keep these posts roughly in chronological order, so I'd thought I'd mention the street scene in 'Officer Daisy Duke'. It was filmed on location in Piru, California. You can check out how the town looks today on Google Maps. The junction of Main Street and Center Street is still recognizable. At the eastern end of Center Street is the bridge used in 'Luke's Love Story' in season 1. It has now been bypassed by new bridge, but is still standing. Old Telegraph Road was also used in the race in 'Luke's Love Story'.

    In 'Jude Emery' we see a rare scene shot at night (many other scenes where shot at night, but lit to look like daylight). I've included this picture because I think it's the only time we see the police sign (over Bo's shoulder) illuminated.

    PoliceSign0219.jpg

    Back to daylight and on to 'Return of the Ridge Raiders'. Bo and Luke go to visit 'Coop the Snoop' in 'the state capital'. Tri-State Press, where he works, is actually building #15 in Hazzard Square (previously used as the Hotel Metropole).

    Tri-State0220.jpg

    Although it's been visible in earlier episodes, I finally got a clear shot of the Barber Shop (building #4) next to the bank. Sometimes part of the window signage is missing, and the pole on the front moves around, but it stays virtually the same for quite a while.

    Barber0220.jpg

    When 'Coop the Snoop' arrives in Hazzard, rather than using the bus stop at the Drug Store, he gets off at the bus station. This is located at the rear of the church (previously used as a Colonial City loading bay) which is marked #17 on the map.

    BusStation0220.jpg

    Finally, at the end of the episode Boss breaks ground for the new 'Senior Citizens Center' (I know there should be an apostrophe after Citizens, but there wasn't one on the banner). This was filmed between the church and building #19 (the same place as the 'Road Closed' sign above, but from the opposite angle). I'm not posting a picture because I'm limited to 4 pictures per post, and there wasn't much to see anyway.

  3. The line below your user name can be Junior Member, Member or Senior Member. You go from Junior Member to Member after 30 posts, and Member to Senior Member after 100. This line is replaced if you win Fan of the Month.

    The line below that varies as follows:

    New in town - up to 10 posts

    Settlin' in - up to 25 posts

    Hazzardite - up to 100 posts

    Hazzardite for life - over 100 posts

    I hope those were the ranks you were asking about.

  4. I'm starting this post with a mystery building. At the end of 'Duke of Duke' we see the 'State Courthouse'. It's a large building that I can't find in the current WB backlots. If anyone knows where the building is, please let us know.

    StateCourt1_0213.jpg

    Here's a longer shot. The building on the right appears to be just a façade, indicating that it's a movie set rather than on location.

    StateCourt2_0213.jpg

    Moving on to 'The Runaway', we finally get a clear look at the 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'. This changes very little between episodes, although it's sometimes the 'Hazzard Telephone & Telegraph Co.' and occasionally has a Western Union sign on the window.

    Telephone1_0214.jpg

    Just for a change I thought I'd include an interior shot. Here we see telephone operator Mabel/Myrtle Tillingham talking to C.J. Holmes' men. The one closest to the camera is Lance 'Col. Decker' LeGault.

    Telephone2_0214.jpg

  5. Roger and BL were both correct there.

    Seeing as today is St. George's Day (patron saint of England) it's got to be a question from 'Duke of Duke'.

    Q. What drink did Uncle Jesse offer Gaylord, saying "... it's about as close as we get to class around here."?:

    A) Earl Grey Tea

    B) Assam Tea

    C) Darjeeling Tea

    D) English Breakfast Tea

    E) Sassafras Tea

    F) Lapsang Souchong Tea

  6. I've finally worked out which song chainsaw's post was about. The song 'Whiskey Man' appears towards the end of the movie 'Moonrunners'. It's by Lee Clayton, but doesn't seem to be on any of his albums (I only checked ebay and Amazon), and Google doesn't list much other than it was used in 'Moonrunners'.

  7. Building #31 sees a lot of changes in season 2. The doorway seen in the last post has disappeared by 'Duke of Duke' and the impound yard is back, although with wire gates instead of wooden doors. This is the scene where Bo, Luke and Gaylord are painting the road signs.

    Impound0213.jpg

    These next 2 pictures show Daisy on her way to meet the boys with her food hamper. The first shows a sign for 'Jean Paré Cosmetics'.

    JeanPare0213.jpg

    The second gives the store name as 'City Drugs'. The phone booth and 'Hazzard County Gazette' newspaper stand frequently appear outside Hazzard Theater.

    CityDrugs0213.jpg

    Initially I wasn't sure where this store was located, but then 'Officer Daisy Duke' came to my rescue. Daisy gives Boss a parking ticket outside this store and there are enough clues to identify it as building #26 (just across the road from Rhuebottom's). The store also sells 'Darleen Perfume' and has a sign saying 'Snack Shop'.

    CityDrugs0217.jpg

  8. Welcome to HazzardNet Jerry. I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers out there, I was one myself for a while :). I hope that signing up enhances your enjoyment of the site.

    If you do live your dream to build a General, don't forget to share it with us. TomBo posted pictures of his restoration, and greenmonsta79 has just started another.

  9. I'll start this post with the better picture of 'Victor's Bail Bonds' that I promised a while back. This is building #6. I think someone came through this door in one episode even though there is nothing behind the façade (some buildings like the bank and post office have interiors that can be used for filming - this one doesn't).

    Victors0212.jpg

    This shot shows what is beyond the alley between buildings 12 and 13 (Bo is being chased by Hughie in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'). Car chases often appear/disappear here, but we don't get a clear look like this very often.

    Alley0212.jpg

    Another unusual angle in the same alley here, this time looking out towards the church. I have inset the sign for the 'Hotchkiss Funeral Home' which is on the door just off the left of this shot. The wall on the left is the side of the hotel. Even though season 2 started out with a 'Hotel' sign on the front of this building, it was missing a couple of episodes later, only to reappear again in the next episode.

    Alley2_0212.jpg

    When Bo, Luke and Daisy go to investigate who's behind 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' they enter the County Building through this side door. This is actually the spot marked #31 on the map, the same building that served as the door to the Impound Garage in 'The Ghost of General Lee' (see above) - they just did a good job re-dressing it.

  10. It looks like you're on your own here Roger. I added in Charlie Daniels just to tempt you, and you went for Mel :). The correct answer was Merle Haggard. By a strange coincidence, if you watch the interview with John and Tom that I posted a link to in the Niagara Falls Concert thread last night, Merle is John's first choice for acts he would like to see caught in the 'Celebrity Speed Trap'.

    Q. In the same episode ('Jude Emery'), who were Elmer and Cleo?.

  11. Hallo Simon. Ich glaube, Sie sind unser erstes Mitglied in Dubai.

    (Ich kenne einige Deutsche, aber ich bin nicht sehr gut - ich Google mit diesen zu übersetzen)

    I think your English is better than my German, so let's continue in English :) - I just thought I'd welcome you in your native language.

    I hope you enjoy hanging around HazzardNet.

  12. a)it would make a great painting

    How's this?:

    Painting.jpg

    b)as Rosco and Enos are screaming,it sounds as if Enos says "ah-haha oh ****"

    Is that just me or does he say oh ****?

    I see (or should that be hear?) the bit you mean. It's just after Rosco shouts "Get out of the way". That's certainly the only thing that appears on the subtitles. After listening to it a couple of times I'd say it's just gibberish that happens to sound like what you heard.

    Sorry I didn't realise that swear words were censored but its oh s***

    I found that myself when I tried to post a link in the thread 'Manure . . . An Interesting Fact'. The page I was trying to link to had the same word in the URL. Still, HazzardNet is a family-friendly site, so no complaints.

  13. Tinker (Mary Margeret Humes) in Mason Dixon Girls :)

    She's certainly a contender. As I mentioned last week in the Trivia thread, Mary-Margaret Humes is a former Miss Florida & 3rd runner-up to Miss USA 1975. I saw her in an episode of The Fall Guy a couple of week back. It was an episode called 'The Reluctant Traveling Companion' (S02E06) in which Colt has to bring her back from the East Coast by train (she won't fly), and they are traveling in a compartment next to Richard Burton who is trying to learn a script.

  14. In 'Arrest Jesse Duke' the car strippers run 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' from building #1.

    DixieAuto2_0212.jpg

    This shot shows Bo, Luke and Daisy pulling up at the side of the store.

    DixieAuto3_0212.jpg

    This is the back entrance to the auto parts store. I'm pretty sure it's not at the back of building #1. The impound yard from season 1 (near building #24) had a corrugated steel fascia similar to this, so it may have been filmed there.

    DixieAuto4_0212.jpg

    The chase away from the auto parts store goes down the road past Boss's house. We don't ususally get to see this far down the road due to the sound stage at the end of it!.
