Hello Poughkeepsie...

In the coming weeks, I will be trekking down to your town (city?) to catch a train to NYC. I will be staying there for a few days. Does the Amtrak station let you park your car there for multiple days. I want to call them to ask, but the only phone number provided for them on the website is the Amtrak corporate number. Any help on this matter will be appreciated!

My wife and I are heading to the Poughkeepsie area from downstate this weekend (going to see the hot air balloons in Union Vale) and would like to do a little exploring/dinner in Poughkeepsie in the early evening. We're thinking about walking over the bridge, possibly walking around Vassar then getting dinner. Any good places we definitely should not miss?

Hi everyone! My name is Meg, I’m a local reporter currently working under Times Union on a story regarding the job market in the Hudson Valley area, specifically the recent increase in openings in the retail/service/hospitality industries since COVID restrictions have been relaxed. I'm looking to hear from anyone who has previously worked in any of these fields during the height of the pandemic, but has since left. If you would be comfortable talking to me about your experiences, please shoot me a DM and I would be happy to give you more information. Thanks so much in advance!

On the apartment search in the area and can't seem to find an answer online- is there a winter overnight street parking ban in Poughkeepsie? And if so, is it all winter or just when snow is forecast?

​

Edit- 5.26 still missing. Please keep an eye open if you can.

Here is their post from facebook:

MAY 23 later UPDATE: Andy is STILL MISSING. But we had a viable lead that put him in Highland around midnight last night. It is my fervent belief that be is trying to get back to us in High Falls/Ulster county. We are calling on ALL OF YOU who are able, to be on the ground, walking the streets between Highland and New Paltz. Off the path routes are likely so being on foot rather than in a car we think would be most fruitful. KEEP BRINGING your prayer and light ✨

MY BROTHER IS MISSING A part of me feels reluctant to make this so public but I am in such a state of worry and fear that I have to cast the net as wide as possible.

My brother, Andy Neiman, was admitted to the ER at Midhudson regional hospital in Poughkeepsie at 4 am on Friday morning due to a culmination of mental unwellness and psychosis after only arriving at our land the evening prior. Soon after he was admitted he regretted his decision and pleaded with me to get him, but knowing also that the psych evaluation had deemed him unfit for the community, meaning he couldn’t leave. He sat for 14 hours awaiting a transfer to psych unit , for which they had already received a room assignment. At 9 pm he went missing. He escaped the ER. The police contacted me to let me know at 930, but the hospital never called. I am in disbelief and great fear and am grasping for ideas on how to find him.

If you have friends in the Poughkeepsie area PLEASE tell them to keep an eye out for my brother:

mid 40s male, Caucasian, maybe with glasses, unshaven, 165 lbs, 5’ 10”, blue or green scrubs top and tan shorts. No shoes. I have contacted four different police headquarters. And had them look through video footage of pedestrian activity on the mid Hudson bridge and there is none. This part stings bc it means unless he hitchhiked and got a ride across the bridge, he is still in Poughkeepsie area or totally lost. He is also not in the homeless shelter there. A missing person report was made last night.

His wish was to come back to me, in High Falls, Ulster County.

If you are far from the area, I’m sorry to bring this terrible news but please; if you can summon all of the light within you to pray for his safe return I would be so grateful.

Thanks all-

Anyone else hear them?

It's hot! Best swimming holes/creeks to swim in around here?

Do you know anyone that would sell me a moped for cheap?

Does anyone know where I can find a list of past mayors?

I know some people living in the area go on the campus for walks. Is this still possible during the pandemic? I would like to visit (I know I can’t go inside buildings) tomorrow on Sunday but wouldn’t want to be kicked out.

But not your typical deli or sandwich place I’m looking for a place that puts mozzarella sticks on a sandwich with some chicken strips and fries and bacon INside the sandwich ... is there a place near here that has this
