poughkeepsie: Before it became the Walkway over the Hudson
- 03/05/14 03:11 PM
This is a photo from 2007 in my Flickr account, it was hidden among the thousands of photos I am yet to share. The photo taken from the campus of Marist College in Poughkeepsie NY shows an old railroad bridge which has since been converted into The Walkway Over the Hudson, a big tourist draw to the area. The view is spectacular especially during the Fall Foliage.

It is not unusual for someone relocating to the northern Dutchess area to ask where do people shop? If you Live in the Northern Dutchess area, Red Hook and Rhinebeck, you will quickly notice the absence of the popular stores and malls. Yes, I consider the quality of life to be among the best, with great open space and a slower pace of life. Most of us need to shop, so, if the quality of life is so great would the residents have to travel to Poughkeepsie, which is over a half and hour away, just to shop? Thankfully, this is not the (8 comments)
Adams Fairacre in Kingston NY It is not uncommon to be asked by a buyer new to the area where is the best place to shop for produce. Their next question sometimes pertains to landscaping. One option I alway give them is Adams Fairacre Farm since you can find it all under one roof. To understand the appeal of this place you need to take a look at its history. This business was started by Ralph Adams in 1919 and the first location was a roadside farm market in Poughkeepsie. This has now expanded into three full service markets located in Poughkeepsie , Kingston and Newburgh. (12 comments)

Today it was announced that in Dutchess County, a County Bill was passed requiring landords to test their well for contaminants; also anyone thinking of selling their house would be required to have this test done. This test is expected to cost around $500 and according to a local testing lab I contacted, the test would involve several samples and would require 25-28 separate tests. This bill would have to be okayed by the County Executive before it would become law, at this stage he is considering having each municipality pass their own water testing law. The county has only (7 comments)
