Ask Mike: A Few Good Questions

Tags:

Hey Guys,

Coming back from vacation is never easy. Fortunately, I found a lot of good questions to help ease the pain. Here are some highlights from my first week back…

One very romantic gentlemen is seeking information on how to get married at the Hazzard County courthouse from “The Dukes of Hazzard.” He asked the community for help in tracking down the building. As a long time fan of Bo and Luke Duke, I was happy to oblige. From what I can tell, the courthouse is either in one three small Georgia towns or on a back-lot in Hollywood. Good luck, lover boy!

The Battle of Bunker Hill was one of the most important fights in the Revolutionary War. So, how did the it get its name? I did a bit of research and found that the hill was named after the Bunker family who owned the land. Interestingly, historians believe the battle was actually waged on a nearby hill known as Breed’s Hill. For whatever reason, the name “Bunker Hill” just stuck.

It’s impossible to look at anything plastic without seeing the recycling logo. A curious community member asked for help in figuring out the symbol’s actual meaning. I tracked down an interview with the logo’s creator, a man named Gary Anderson. In the interview, Anderson explains that the three arrows “symbolize continuity within a finite entity.” If you think about it, that’s what recycling is all about.

Thanks for reading,
