    i have a few friends at marist college and from what i saw, it is a beautiful place aside from the downtown which i gathered to be quite shitty. there are some really nice parts and the mid-hudson bridge (i think its called) is gorgeous at night because you can see all of the lights in the city and i dont know, i just thought it was really nice. good luck with everything!

    On a related note... stay away from girls that go to Marist! It's got the highest STD percentages of the country (or so I hear.)

    I know a girl who works at Marist who is a PJ fan and she's been hitting shows since 2000.
    I love to turn you on

    Don't worry, you still have Vassar if your into the artsy types, Dutchess Community College if your into the less than genius types, and the Cullinary Institute of America if your into the type that will enjoy cooking you dinner every night. SUNY New Paltz and Mount Saint Mary's aren't very far either.

    As did Anne Hathaway and Tom Hank's daughter.


    BTW, I can't believe a thread about Poughkeepsie is 3 pages long. Crazy shit...

    A thread like this just shows how much more wilder the fan base of the North East is. I think I've heard more about Poughkeepsie than Columbia, SC, and PJ is playing a show there!!!!

    Ed mentioned Poughkeepsie 2 times, once in Albany and one at the Borgata. Maybe he will do a solo show at one of the theaters around. The Bardavon is too small at 900 seats, but the one in Kingston is 1,500. Then there is always the Chance.

    I went to school in Poughkeepsie - Marist College. I loved it!! There definitely are some beautiful places in the Hudson Valley - especially Hyde Park (which also still has a drive in movie theater!!)

    The music scene is pretty good too - with some good bands at The Chance theater. Also an occasional good show at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.

    Poughkeepsie does have some ghetto areas though.
    My lips are shaking.......

    I knew about the Borgata one. What did he say about Po-town at Albany?

    any Po-Towners on here remember Berties?????

    freshman year all you needed to do was show a college id and they'd let you in. We got buddy of mine's brother in when he was 16.

    good times good times
