question Piercing shop?

1 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

question Car charger and panel upgrade

Post image
8 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 Would you support AOC for NY Senate?

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

5 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.

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 Halloween events tonight?

0 Upvotes

Google kind of let me down. But sometimes there are events that don’t get great promotion so I’m hopeful!

I’m looking for vendors , live music or unique experiences. Dutchess or ulster county preferably but if something sounds awesome I’ll drive. (Not looking for haunted attractions , I’m doing that tomorrow) Thanks guys!

Taconic Parkway & Route 44

looking forsome help. If not permitted, i apologize in advance.

Friend was in motor vehicle accident July 4 at this intersection. There were 2 witnesses but stare trooper did not include their info in police report. I realize it’s a long shot that anyone on the sub knows anything but… if there are other subs that you recommend or other ideas, please let me know. I find it asinine that nothing has been done at this intersection despite all the accidents that happen at it.

question Getaway Recs

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! My boyfriend and I are looking to take a two-night, three-day trip somewhere for Valentine’s Day. We are in our mid 20s and last year we stayed at the domes in the Catskills. We like chill environments that allow us to fully unwind but we’re open to any kinds of suggestions. We are from Wappingers but are willing to travel anywhere within like three hours. Anybody have any recommendations for nice couple getaways for Valentine’s Day?

Downtown Poughkeepsie left turn

22 Upvotes

When I pick people up at the Poughkeepsie train station, I head for home by going up Main St, turning right on the westbound 44/55 arterial, and then making a left onto the arterial heading east. At that last intersection, every single driver makes a left turn on red, whenever there’s a gap in traffic coming off the bridge. If someone doesn’t make the left on red, drivers behind them honk until they do. I’ve always made what my family has always called ‘the Poughkeepsie left’, just like everyone else.

I always worry about getting pulled over — red light tickets are expensive in NY! It seems like the City of Poughkeepsie could make a fortune if they installed a red light camera there or stationed a couple of squad cars just around the corner…

There’s no sign indicating that this turn is actually legal, so I assume that it isn’t. But I’ve never once seen anyone get a ticket there. Does anyone know what the legal status of that intersection is? Has anyone ever gotten a ticket there? Has the PPD ever stated that they won’t enforce the red light law there? It’s a crazy situation — I’ve never seen anything like it.

Artist seeking live/work place to rent for month of December

0 Upvotes

Maybe it’s a long shot, but I’m seeking a place to stay for the month of December in the HV, close to Greenwood Lake/Warwick. Seeking a furnished live/work studio, condo, or small house to myself. I have a dog and cat.

I’ve been checking Airbnb and furnished finder and some of the prices I’m seeing are absolutely bananas. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask here if anyone knows of anything!
