Talk:Poughkeepsie (city), New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Impossible citation?
The city has been referred to on countless occasions in MAD magazine, to the point where a citizen wrote a letter questioning them about their ongoing ridicule of the city. [citation needed] Does anybody know how one would cite a source for this? I have the issue where the letter in question is printed and at least 10 others where they ridicule Poughkeepsie, but scanning and uploading parts of them would be a balant copyright infringement, so how would one cite a source here?
What on earth does the sentence, "The City of Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley on the west side of the county," mean? It doesn't make sense.
That sentence was missing the word is. It should read "Poughkeepsie is in the Hudson Valley, on the west side of the county." Smartyshoe 14:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "If you keep this up, you're going to drive me to Poughkeepsie!"
Growing up in Albany, New York, teachers and adults would frequently say this, implying 'you're going to drive me to a mental hospital!' Is there a mental hospital in Poughkeepsie, or was there one? Thanks. LuMas 22:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
There was a mental hospital north of Poughkeepsie On Route 9, It hasn't been in use for many years.
[edit] IPA / Pronounciation
An edit on December 18, 2006 changed the pronounciation of the city. I believe the new pronounciation is incorrect. I'd fix it, but my combined lack of familiarity with the city and IPA defers to someone more qualified. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.254.17.28 (talk) 05:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
