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


    None the less a thread about Poughkeepsie with word Poughkeepsie so butchered up like I've never seen!

    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?

    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.

    was there when that happened (as in was at school then) although I didn't go to night cap very often.

    senior yr a couple of us would hit sidelines which might have been in hyde park, what a dive that place was!!!

    I have worked in Poughkeepsie on and off for 20 years. The only time I go near main st. is to get tickets for the Chance.

    Anyone live there.................I just got a new job and have no friends there.

    bummer


    I am about 40-60 minutes or so south from there. It's a bit up there but I have some friends who live around the area and like it. me personally, I prefer to be closer to NYC. I am only about 25 minutes from Manhattan but still in Westchester County ie THE BURBS :D but burbs close to NYC. it depends what you like - i am not a big fan of upper wstchester and putnam county. too far for my tastes.

    congrats and good luck! if you hate it, just move south and commute!!
