poughkeepsie: Daylight Savings Time - Spring Forward, Fall Back ...And, Happy Halloween - 10/30/09 01:44 AM
The weather forecast shows a wet, rainy, but warm Halloween is expected in the Mid-Hudson Valley and Poughkeepsie are. Hi 69 / Lo 42. It might turn out to be the first rainy Halloween night since I moved into my house 10 years ago. I can track the weather back that far because each Halloween I set up a table outside on my driveway and serve donut holes and cider to the trick-or-treaters. It's great to see all the neighbor having fun and to chat with the parents too.
If it rains this year I might need to set up shop inside my … (4 comments)

poughkeepsie: Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County And A Community That Is Up & Coming - 06/05/09 08:03 AM
I must admit, I was not too impressed with Poughkeepsie when I first moved to the Hudson Valley from a large Metropolitan city in the Midwest. That was 10 years ago. How things have changed. Could it be that this town sort of grew on me, or is it the transformation that has taken place over time which makes me like this place more? Okay, maybe it's a little bit of both.
Perhaps I was a bit shallow back then too. As I remember, I was first disappointed because there wasn't a Starbucks and yet Dunkin Donuts was everywhere. Eventually, Starbucks found Poughkeepsie and the neighboring towns … (4 comments)

poughkeepsie: Extra, Extra Read All about It! Dutchess County Homes Sales Are Picking Up! - 04/11/09 01:03 AM
The Poughkeepsie Journal reported this week that the real estate market in the Mid-Hudson Valley is beginning to pick up pace. In March, accepted purchase offers rose 27.2%. Homes sold faster in March 2009 compared to a year ago with the average days on the market decreasing by 7.7 percent to 120 days.
One local broker had been quoted for the article to say "new federal first-time home buyer tax credit of up to $8,000, combined with mortgage rates at 5 percent and even below, are the keys".

It was the longest bridge in the world when it opened in 1888, and it will be the longest pedestrian bridge in the world when it reopens in October 2009. A fire destroyed the railroad portion of the bridge in 1974. After 34 years of dormancy, the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad bridge is undergoing a makeover.

poughkeepsie: Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday..... - 10/15/08 02:50 PM
Nobody who's ever ventured north of NY City or Westchester County would ever imagine this! Only 70 miles away from the Big Apple is a beautiful and peaceful landscape. Manhattanites who come up here for a weekend drive usually fall in love with the Upstate NY countryside. Often I've heard it said - "I feel like I've died and gone to heaven". No wonder one Hudson Valley town was named Pleasant Valley!
Many stay long enough to check out the local real estate market - and eventually they become residents who commute to work in The City. The smart thing, for those who have jobs that are conducive enough is to figure out a way to telecommute. Some … (5 comments)

Poughkeepsie is gearing up for one of the area's best festivals of the year! It's time to savor the flavors of Italy. Who can resist this sampling of the best authentic Italian cuisine in the Hudson Valley? This weekend's festival is a reminder of the very strong ethnic heritage of our Italian-Amercan community.
