Driving through Mid-Hudson Bridge to Main Street, Poughkeepsie, New York, USA (2019)
Poughkeepsie (/pəˈkɪpsi/ pə-KIP-see), officially the City of Poughkeepsie, separate from the Town of Poughkeepsie, is a city in the state of New York, United States, which is the county seat of Dutchess County. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 32,736.[4] Poughkeepsie is in the Hudson Valley midway between New York City and Albany, and is part of the New York metropolitan area.[5][6] The name derives from a word in the Wappinger language, roughly U-puku-ipi-sing,[7] meaning the reed-covered lodge by the little-water place, referring to a spring or stream feeding into the Hudson River south of the present downtown area.[8]
Poughkeepsie is known as The Queen City of the Hudson. It was settled in the 17th century by the Dutch and became New York's second capital shortly after the American Revolution. It was chartered as a city in 1854. Major bridges in the city include the Walkway over the Hudson, a former railroad bridge (originally called the Poughkeepsie Bridge) which re-opened as a public walkway on October 3, 2009; and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge, a major thoroughfare built in 1930 that carries U.S. Route 44 (concurrent with State Route 55) over the Hudson. The city of Poughkeepsie lies in New York's 18th congressional district.
Mid-Hudson Bridge
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge is a toll suspension bridge which carries US 44 and NY 55 across the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland in the state of New York. Governor and local resident Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor attended the opening ceremony on August 25, 1930. The bridge was renamed the Franklin D. Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge in 1994 though the span is rarely referred to by its official name.
The bridge is 3,000 feet (910 m) long with a clearance of 135 feet (41 m) above the Hudson. At opening, it was the sixth-longest suspension bridge in the world. The chief engineer was Polish immigrant Ralph Modjeski, who had previously engineered the strengthening of the nearby Poughkeepsie Railroad bridge. Primary contractor was the American Bridge Company of Ambridge, Pennsylvania with steel from Carnegie. The span is unusual in that stiffening trusses were intentionally constructed on top of, not below, the deck.

Funky in parts, scenic in others, the town is home to Marist College and the historic Vassar College, a recognized arboretum. Check out more at:
Walkway over the Hudson, Poughkeepsie, NY, United States
This video shows my walk over the Hudson.
Much longer then I thought, I think I got a bit tired half way through because I simply forgot to film anything (on my phone anyway). If you do the entire walk following the map (seen early in the clip), it takes quite a long time and is mostly not that interesting (assuming you are not simply out for a walk of course). To this traveller, with hindsight, I would have turned back on the bridge and walked back to the car park. The part of the walk from the Mid-Hudson bridge to the car park (ie the second half of the walk) is particular dull. I missed out on spending time at the FDR Memorial library because of the time spent here.
That's not to knock the actual Walkway which is amazing and well worth stopping to experience...just don't walk the entire loop.

Join Spark Youth Constantine and Chris as they discover the parks of the Poughkeepsie Waterfront!
This video was produced in Spark Media Projects FRAME workshop. FRAME is designed for students considering a career in the media arts. Guided by Spark’s team of professional producers, Spark students work with local business and nonprofit clients on every step of the creative marketing process, from the initial concept pitch through post-production; refining, editing, and responding to feedback along the way.
For the first FRAME Spark teamed up with Scenic Hudson to create a video celebrating Poughkeepsie's burgeoning waterfront. With funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Youth Producers created an original narrative film about discovering Poughkeepsie's vibrant parks.

Digital Tour of Poughkeepsie - Full Video
Located approximately 75 miles north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River, Poughkeepsie was settled over three hundred years ago by Dutch and English immigrants. The village grew quickly as merchants shipped agricultural produce from its hinterland and manufactured goods from numerous industries on sloops and steamboats on the metropolis to the south. Poughkeepsie was incorporated as a city in 1854 and reached its highest population a century later, with bustling retail and commercial trade in a vibrant downtown. However, as with almost all older cities in the northeast and upper mid-west of the United States, Poughkeepsie experienced a major decline throughout the middle of the 20th century. Manufacturing businesses, retail establishments, and many segments of the population left the city while suburbs grew in the surrounding town and countryside. In the 21st century, the city continues to change.
A Digital Tour of Poughkeepsie is an attempt to understand the City of Poughkeepsie as a small urban center that has an important human history and continues to evolve over time. Narrated by Harvey Flad (Vassar College Emeritus Professor of Geography), this DVD explores the landscape and history of 15 Poughkeepsie landmarks and neighborhoods.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Full House Caps Off Shen Yun's 2012 Season in New Jersey
Shen Yun Performing Arts held its final show of the 2012 season to a packed house on Saturday, October 27.
Audience members at the New Jersey State Theater in New Brunswick were excited by Shen Yun's display of classical Chinese dance and music.
[Lorrie Nadeau, Software Developer]:
Oh, it's just fabulous, the orchestra is fantastic, the dancers and the colorful costumes, it's just a combination for all the senses, just fabulous.
[Irine Nachem, East Brunswick Resident]:
This is the first time that I've seen this before and I'm enjoying it very much. I hope it continues on, I know it will continue on for a long time.
Shen Yun's performances include classical Chinese and ethnic dances, as well as story-based pieces drawing from China's past and present. The show is accompanied by a live orchestra that combines traditional western orchestration with ancient Chinese instruments.
[Jamie Probber, Attorney]:
I'm very much enjoying the music...I studied a lot of different music a long time ago and I'm enjoying the mix of the Eastern and the Western. And the instrumentation as well is very interesting.
[Marlin, Audience]:
I think this show is fantastic, I think that the artistry, the way the movement is displayed, with the type of material that's involved, silk. The history of the tales, I think it's phenomenal, it's quite outstanding.
Shen Yun's 2013 world tour will start with shows in Buenos Aries, Argentina on December 13th.
