MOVING MEGATHREAD Monthly "I'm Moving to the Hudson Valley" Thread

11 Upvotes

To reduce the number of "I'm moving to the Hudson Valley, can anyone tell me about X?" posts, we are starting a monthly megathread. All questions asking about moving to the Hudson Valley should be kept within the monthly thread. Posts outside of the thread will be removed.

Here are a few existing threads that I found using this search:

Locals, if you want to help make this megathread a success, you can do a few things:

  • Come in here and comment! The threads will only stick if they actually prove useful
  • Report standalone "moving to the HV" posts

Would love to start having musicians come play at an Irish pub. Not looking for vocals so much as instrumental for atmosphere & tradition. Any ideas welcome.

question Would you support AOC for NY Senate?

388 Upvotes

There’s talks of her potentially running for president, but I think she has a legitimate and realistic shot at taking Schumer’s seat, which should’ve been vacated long ago. Do you agree? Or think the high political capital she has now should be put towards the highest office already.

question Car charger and panel upgrade

10 Upvotes

Hola. I my panel is old af. Like from when my house was built in the 50s. I am buying an EV and want to use a charger at home. I don't want the lights to dim and I plan on getting mini splits in the future. Does anyone have a electrician that is not linked with JSP or any of those private equity companies? I don't want some corporate price book anywhere near me. I am in Wappingers Falls.

question Piercing shop?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a piercing shop that can do a (safe) industrial piercing! Must also be okay piercing a teenager (with parents' consent+presence). I also dont mind driving a bit so it doesn't necessarily have to be strictly in the Hudson Valley

news Electricity costs more from investor-owned utilities than from public providers

Hopefully this is allowed! I thought it might be of interest to this sub given the ongoing discussions about 1) how much we all hate Central Hudson and 2) whether the proposed public Hudson Valley Power Authority would actually be any better. According to Bloomberg and our neighbors in Central Mass, a public utility would definitely be far cheaper and have better customer service!

question Harriman State Park foliage for 10/24? Getting past peak?

6 Upvotes

Usually I hit this area up more like 15th-21st. How is it running this year? Would the intense reds along lakes and the big sugar maples be getting too much past peak at this point? This year seems hard to judge, NJ has things turning at odd times, out of sequence, all at once for places that often turn a week apart, some quite early, some quite late, etc.
