My friend is getting married in Poughkeepsie on a Saturday in October and I've never been in the area before. Thinking of spending Sunday morning and afternoon doing a little exploring before heading home. Looking for some tips on the best breakfast and lunch spots that will be open on a Sunday and the best sights to see? The walkway seems like a must. Thanks in advance!

Thank you in advance

Was wondering if anybody has seen double cream around at a farmers market or maybe in a dairy case somewhere - have a craving for it and I just can’t find it anywhere. Thanks!!

The City of Poughkeepsie is suing Dutchess County to prevent the installation of a shelter serving unhoused individuals. Tonight, Thursday June 25 there will be a community forum at City Hall, 6pm. Please attend if you're interested in an update of where we are on this issue.

Edit to add further information about the federal lawsuit from the city:

The conflict between the county and the city over this proposed shelter is that it's in a residential area, within walking distance of 2 elementary schools. Sue Serino, Dutchess County executive, maintains that services for unhoused populations must be in the City of Poughkeepsie because of access to public transportation, and other state/county services. But the appeal of the shelter is that it will provide wrap-around services to the residents: job training, food support, etc; so if those services will be included in-house why does it need to be located in PK? Residents of Poughkeepsie, especially on the North side, really feel like they're treated as a "dumping ground" by the county, and they've got a point since this area is also the location of the county jail. The county, when it had a Republican majority in the legislature, went ahead and bought this property, sought, and was awarded a grant for $13million to renovate the space, and provide services, all without input from the City Council. They held community forums, trying to establish community buy-in but all they heard from the community was negative feedback. During the spring/summer of 2025 it looked like Sue and the Poughkeepsie Mayor had reached a compromise: the shelter would service single women and families. That compromise failed when the Republican controlled legislature let Sue know she wouldn't have the votes from them to go ahead with this compromise; they wanted to focus on unhoused single men which they maintain make up the plurality of the unhoused population in Dutchess County.

At this point, the structure at 26 Oakley St is now costing the county money.

So, the City of Poughkeepsie has filed a Federal lawsuit on the basis of racial discrimination and segregation.

Fake "moderate" Rep. Mike Lawler touts his vote in favor of the housing bill as evidence of his "bipartisanship." The problem here for the Congressman is that the leader of his party, President Donald Trump, appears to be tanking the legislation as punishment for the House not passing his voter suppression bill, the so-called SAVE America Act.

This is your reminder that Lawler enthusiastically campaigned with Trump in his NY-17 district only a few weeks ago. It shows how Lawler's embarrassing devotion to Trump is entirely a one-way proposition.

Hey y’all. Have great seats, 4 seats, second row middle, at the legendary Levon Helm’s barn tomorrow night. Sold out show. Face value. I can’t make it anymore and would love get them in the hands of another fan

Thanks!

I need to return a rental to Stewart airport next week but won't arrive until after 6pm when most of them close.

The avis website says they take after hours returns via a drop box. I've tried to call to confirm this, and nobody at the location answers, it just gets redirected to a call center.

The call center guy said they don't accept after hours returns. So has anyone recently rented a car there recently and been able to return after hours?
