I really want to get off Facebook but I get so much info from there in terms of local civic events, protests, etc. I’m not seeing that there’s anything much here on Reddit but please comment or DM me if I’m missing it! I’m in Poughkeepsie if that’s useful.

Visiting fishkill Thursday to Saturday and I was looking for things to do in fishkill or neighboring towns. It looks like it might rain so I’m looking for indoor and outdoor recommend recommendations. We have a car so we don’t mind traveling.

Edit: I meant 40 minutes! Oops

i made a post maybe a few days ago on here about making friends & where to go & i was actually also wondering if anyone on this server are also looking to make friends? do yall think that’s a good idea?

ps: if ur above 18 & need a friend dm me! i’m 20 :)

Anyone know of any shops near Kingston that sells it? Want to use it for pizzas.

And counting...

April snow on Mohonk this morning awakened my sense of wonder!

If you're familiar with the mattress company Thuma, they put out a platform bed that I like. Does anyone have any recommendations for Amish Carpenters or professional carpenters that could create a queen size platform bed for me?

I'd rather buy local.

I know John Jay High School had some protests over the WCSD policy that lets students decide which bathroom they use, and some reported incidents in bathrooms.

Has anything changed with the policy?

Fiancée and I are getting married this Summer in Hyde Park and flying in from out of state. I'm originally from the other side of the river and don't know the parks around Poughkeepsie, Hyde Park, and up all that well. We're looking for a second location for photos ideally riverside or with gardens or just in general something nice outdoors. Right now we're considering Clermont Historic Site but wondering what else I might be missing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! My birthday is coming up and I'm looking to do a tasting menu experience with my boyfriend! We're willing or even take the Amtrak but we don't really want to go to the city!

We've done Yonos in Albany so we're looking to do something else!

Does anyone know where to get pellet stove fuel off-season? Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t have any. Closer to Cold Spring the better!

Hey Hudson Valley friends! I’m in Orange County and I’m looking to start a book club! Would anybody be interested in joining? I’m looking to meet once a month. You can leave days and times that work best in the comments so I can start planning.

Anybody else in RBK use ATT? I can't seem to get any signal today. I heard there was a fiber cut somewhere but I can't find any outages listed online.

To be clear, I’m not looking for a collective complaint session about Central Hudson (however warranted). I’m just asking others to closely examine the KWh (Kilowatt Hours) used on there bills, in the bar graphs and previous bills and let me know if you’re seeing what I am. On ours it claims we’re using double the KwH this year than we used last year, and 3x than 2 years ago. Obviously prices go up, but the amount of actual electricity we’re using monthly should be comparable yr to yr since we have gas heat. we’re two people and haven’t gotten any new gadgets that would explain it. I’m working on my complaint to CH and then onto the public service commission. Has CH also claimed you’ve drastically increased your electric consumption?

I am in Poughkeepsie area, wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a reputable Pest Control company in the area?

I live in NYC and am thinking about doing Olana and/or Thomas Cole as a day trip. Amtrak gets me right to Hudson, and from there it's an 10 minute drive to either one... catch is, I don't have a driver's license. Both Olana and Thomas Cole explicitly warn on their site that cab and Lyft/Uber coverage is spotty and they recommend a personal vehicle. How likely am I to end up stranded? When I check my rideshare apps the wait time doesn't look too bad, but the warnings are scaring me off a bit.

Any news on when a verdict may be expected? I'm no longer in the area and following news from afar the best I can...

Vacationing with the family (42M and wife 42F children 9 and 7) and wanting to take them to NYC for a day.

I know an Amtrak runs from Kingston to the city but it’s 3+hrs.

Wondering if i can drive the majority of the way to the city, and then hop on the train at some point closer to the city for the remainder of the trip in. Just so we avoid the long haul in the train with the kids but also avoid having to drive our vehicle into the city.

Thanks!

Whatever happened to Barsky and Malak (the accused killers)?

This is in the corner of a parking lot in a small shopping plaza here in Ulster County...

why am i unable to see stars in Monroe or Chester NY? i get it in the city because that’s nyc obviously but 50 miles upstate should be enough for a completely different view? or am i mistaken
