I've lived in poughkeepsie my whole life. People trash it a lot but I love it there. Growing up next to the river, being a rower, and attending a diverse school like Poughkeepsie High were all really foundational experiences. It's also just unbelievably gorgeous all around. I really love it there!
@@craigchenery604 I had no clue how long the pedestrian sidewalk has been open on the Mid-Hudson Bridge. After doing some research, I see that part opened in 2000. So, let me restate my original comment. I’ve lived in Poughkeepsie for 42 years and had no clue the pedestrian section opened in 2000, for 22 years haven’t known how to enter or exit the pedestrian sidewalk.
I’ve lived in Poougkeensie for almost 4 years. It has nothing to envy to autumn in Japan. It’s really wonderful. I highly recommend pretzels the best in NY. Thank you for your great job.
Much props to you Actionkid . I haven't been here since my dad passed cancer in May of (2017) from 30 years hard smoking. Rest in peace to my dad James E. Barksdale (1938) - (2017). U.S. PFC, Army Paratrooper . Much respect to all U.S. service members and in other countries all over the world. I didn't get the chance to walk across the Mid Hudson Bridge & The Hudson Sky-Bridge walkway that used to be a abandoned bridge (1889) - (1974) of the New Haven Rail Road - Maybrook Rail Road line. bridge . That was turned into a pedestrian and cycling path in (2009) from Poukeepsie Dutches County to Highland & Lloyd al the way to New Paltz Ulser County . In the future I want to come back to cross the Hudson River to Highland side form Poughkeepsie I haven't been there since May of (2017) since he passed R.I.P. .
As someone from Poughkeepsie, thank you so so much for featuring it on your channel! I’m a big fan of your videos! (I learned about The Hole from you) Thanks so much again!! 🎉
The walks by AK look spectacular and the bridge is a real architecture of its era that preserve until today...truly amazing 👏, it's windy up the bridge...overlooking the entire surrounding of the Hudson River NYC....Good work
The maples at the beginning and the views over the water were lovely. Great to see the old rail bridge re-purposed, but the obvious deprivation towards the end of the walk was sad to see. Not an area I've ever seen before, so thanks for showing us!
I felt like I stepped back into time looking at the Poughkeepsie Train Station. 🤩 Amazing views of the Hudson River, nature sceneries, and fall foliage from the Walkway Over the Hudson and the Mid-Hudson Bridge. 😍 1:04:25 It's so cool there's multiple different music compositions from this bridge! 🎶 1:25:30 Nice restaurant in the charming Little Italy neighborhood! 😃 Thank you for venturing out on this day trip and sharing this lovely serene walk through Poughkeepsie and Highland, AK! 🤗
First off great video. I guess when you’re not here all the time you appreciate it more. I’ve lived in Poughkeepsie/Highland area since I was born 40 years ago. I think I’m just over it. I fell like there really isn’t much to do here anymore. The fall is great but I’m looking forward to warmer climate and beaches everyday. Even you didn’t want to walk around Highland lol, nothing to do or see.
This video makes it seem like heaven😂 ….I grew up in Poughkeepsie and this is a beautiful tour of the river and train area . This video will make people want to move there lol But omg🤦🏽♀️…..when you walk up the hill or even to the building on the side its a whole other story😭. The building up that grass hill is RIP . Where so many people have lost their lives and so many ghetto people stand around outside of the building starting problems with people who go in and out🤦🏽♀️, even right next to the train station is the bar that so many people have gotten shot and jumped at. And if i started talking about the drug addicts and drug sellers and the kids fighting every single day after school like its a job id be here all day 🤦🏽♀️🤣 That church you passed was holy light and all ill say is one of their members impregnated a 14 year old girl years ago and went to jail for stealing from his job and they treat him like a king and the money goes towards houses and cars . The church dont really change lol🤷🏽♀️ My grandmother was a councilwoman and the drug dealers hated her because she wanted to clean up their projects , because it smelled like pee everywhere and put camera’s up 😆. I could literally go on for days . Moving was definitely life changing 😅
Amazing walk tour around Poughkeepsie & Highland, NY in October 2022. Beautiful scenery and ambience. Tnx4sharing. Fully watched. It's me...BoydXplorer
Another beautiful walk Ken, loved this walk over the bridge, the trees turning. Would love to see more of this. I also loved Beacon Hill. Thanks for taking me.
Another great walk in upstate New York. The scenery is amazing. The autumn colors are stunning. And the Bridge Music thing is quite interesting! Thanks AK for this great walk after the one in Beacon. This seems to be the perfect places to rest a little from the craziness of the city.
I've lived in Wappingers Falls all my life which is right along side the Hudson river next to Poughkeepsie. My favorite part is the seasonal shift, getting to see all 4 seasons and also the architecture is timeless as well.
What a visually spectacular place! The colors from the maples trees! Wow! Just wow! When combined with the water and the rest of the visuals it's absolutely stunning!
That's justt the mid-hudson valley in general. Bear mountain near West Point is jaw dropping in autumn and puts Poughkeepsie to shame. Unfortunately a prejudice mayor authorized the construction of the 3-lane arterial that starts on that suspension bridge built in the video as a way to divert business away from the inner city and keep it poor along with those who live there. Which is why there are so many closed off Main street. There's a very ugly aspect to it once you learn a bit more about the place.
I thank you for highlighting the city positively. Poughkeepsie has its issues like any city but if you stop to take in the beauty it is an awesome city and the same can be said about the entire county in my opinion.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ACTION KID FOR YOUR VIDEO OF POUGHKEEPSIE. I HAVE PASSED BY POUGHKEEPSIE A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING FAMILY VACATION TRIPS MANY YEARS AGO BUT HAD NEVER STOPPED THERE. BACK IN 1969 ONE OF MY SUMMER VACAITION YOUTH CAMP COUNSELORS MR. HANK SILBURN LIVED IN POUGHKEEPSIE . PLEASE DO ANOTHER POUGHKEEPSIE VISIT DURING EITHER JULY OR AUGUST AND INTERVIEW THE TOWN'S RESIDENTS. THANK YOU.
Thanks for taking us on this tour. I used to live in Buchanan, but never got around to going up there, on the Walkway over the Hudson, or even walking the streets of Poughkeepsie. Nice.
This is my home town . They have done a lot of work to make it more modern . Hudson valley is really a beautiful area . 🙏🏾 before we moved we use to ride our bikes over the walkway , we had such a blast . Enjoyed the sight seeing on our way as well .
When you come here please don't drive like an idiot, please don't litter, don't be rude to the locals. We've had a lot of new people in the area and it's changed the environment here..... not always for the better. Just be respectful to the people who maintain the beauty you enjoy. Peace and love.
I thank you soo very much for this perfect walk which the walk way over the Hudson is my favorite walk and the whole area you walked is soo very wonderful I’m definitely going to keep this
I love your videos..when I can't sleep I love watching your videos--I think it is the combination of the cool places you visit and your soothing voice and narration--but it always relaxes me:)🤟💯✌️💫
Poughkeepsie is a beautiful place, that is highly under-rated. From Jamaica, I live here going 22 years. It’s really a wonderful place to live, despite the economic changes that it has been going through. I’ve walked that bridge so many times, beautiful scenery at fall time.
I enjoyed your Poughkeepsie video. I had heard of the Bridge Music, but was too lazy to walk out and find out more. I am a town near Poughkeepsie, and I go back every year.
I was sorry to see it end Action Kid. The historic town of Poughkeepsie is quaint and charming! I wanted to keep walking through the town:) That music bridge was unique and you are brave! I would have been a little unnerved, actually, a lot unnerved with all those holes, especially on both sides. You were 20 stories up! That takes nerve:-)
this is such a great walk, AK! it looks and feels like a calm town but still within the New York state border. I guess we need an Albany, NY walking tour next? We need to know what it looks like in the state capital. that would be cool. ❤
WOW doesn't begin to describe this video. Filmed under what I consider to be the IDEAL conditions of time of day and season. From the station to the bridge and beyond - Absolutely spectacular job you did here. I am using your video as a direct tutorial for my visit - hopefully coming up in a few weeks! Looks like you started early in the morning - time? Is parking available by ParkMobile machines? Thank you for this!!
I love my hometown of PK even tho it can be a bad place to live i Will forever love Poughkeepsie,NY. PS “PK” is nickname of Poughkeepsie beside “The Kingdom”
Another great walk and Poughkeepsie looks such a beautiful place ,nice bridge, everything looks nice even the trees with their colorful leaves 😎Very enjoyable walk thank you A K 🙂👍!!!
I was born in Poughkeepsie and moved 30 yrs ago to Saratoga. I forgot how beautiful the area is and how it changed for the better. I may have to visit there soon. Thank you!!
As a Texan that came here to attend Vassar, I've been blown away by the Fall season up here over the past 4 years.
What a finnochio
@@davidmessina5682 lol what
Me and my girlfriend saw you @1:14 !! It was so cool to recognize you out in the wild like this lol! I love your content!
Omg thats us baby! So cool and wild!
So awesome!
This place is breathtakingly beautiful.👏🤩 Those fall colors, the water, the bridge, the wildlife. Just awesome.
It's gorgeous in the autumn, glad you enjoyed it
I've lived here for years, I really want to go back, if you like this and you like hiking you should check out Beacon too!
I love these spots I live here so I get to experience them a lot
🌟 I was born in Poughkeepsie! 🌟 Thanks so much for your videos 🌟❤️🌟

Lucky you found Rossi's, easily a highlight of Poughkeepsie. I go every time I'm in town

Glad the bridge has been preserved into a walkway. It's really exciting to walk across it and see down the Hudson River
That Italian sandwich from Rossi & Sons looked really delicious just as u said. All great ingredients. 🐝
Best place for a sandwich in the region.
Simply beautiful! What an amazing scenic Autumn walkthrough of Poughkeepsie & Highland, NY!
Cheers to your Autumn Footage of 2022! 👏👏🍁🍂🤩
Glad you enjoyed the walkthrough
The music bridge was fantastic🥰
The Walkway over the Hudson is one of my favorite places.
OMG the trees looks like something out of a Normal Rockwell Painting 🖼
Thank you sm for recording these in 4k. Put them up on my big tv in the mornings and it’s amazing way to wake up ☀️🍂 so beautiful and crisp
You're welcome!

You take us to such beautiful places. Thank you for doing a wonderful job!
1:37:37 wow that pop corn from the bmw !!
Thank you for an awesome vid. Those colors of trees remind me of fall in Korea where I was born.
Stunning views. I was in Cold Spring town last week, a bit early.
Oh my God!!! this walk was so beautiful!!! Just Wow!!!

Wow! Stunning 😍 views! Thank you. The Bridge Music was a sweet interlude. I put it on my list of places to go. Thanks again. 💃
I enjoyed this video so much. :) It really warmed me up on this cold December Day.
I wish I was there right now! The colors look fantastic!
The trees are so beautiful this time of year!
Looks like a beautiful painting or postcard
I used to ride my bike all the time across the Walkway and onto the rail trails that connect on both ends. So scenic and pleasant!
Thank you, what a difference you made this week, Niagara falls was breathtaking Sunday, and this walk, all the history.

I was born here, and I live in Hopewell Junction, like 15 minutes southeast. Pretty areas by the waterfront.

I was around years ago.

Your now departed; no longer with us? - You mean, I was around that area...

Rossis is the best deli. Everything is so fresh and delicious

Miss Poughkeepsie the way it was in the 70s, Big Ben dept store , Carrols hamburgers. My dad worked at the main IBM plant on route 9

4 seasons. Miami has four seasons also: hot, hotter, more humid, maximum humidity.
yes, loved everyone of the seasons, used to do different activities for each one.
So gorgeous in fall , so cute by name Poughkeepsie has it all for NY very nice place to live .
Only nice if you can afford to live out of the terrible neighborhoods. It's really a small slow town.
Beautiful walk in Fall! Thanks! 🍁 🍂
Beautiful walk ActionKid! I was just in Poughkeepsie a few days ago and I have walked the bridge a few times. Good stuff! Cheers.
A great October walk. Tho the Hudson bridge was scary, afraid of heights. Poughkeepsie looks like a great place to live.
should see the rhinecliff kingston bridge...just saying that is scary
Fantastic fall colors 🍁 *****
Thank you for this video. I miss the walkway soo much since we left Wappingers Falls and moved to Florida.
I used to live there! Make sure you go Rosefelt mansion! And Vanderbuilt!
I think the Hudson River Valley is my favorite NY destination. I loved the video you did walking across the Cuomo/Tappan Zee Bridge.
Most underrated 💯
This place is so peaceful, very pleasant and the colors, wonderful 🍁
At night on main Street is not so prettu

If you get a chance come to beacon. Main street is beautiful and if you have any pets the feed stores around there are incredible
this is such a great walk, AK! it looks and feels like a calm town but still within the New York state border. I guess we need an Albany, NY walking tour next? We need to know what it looks like in the state capital. that would be cool. ❤
Very, very nice. Thank you.
Nice :) shout out 845!!!
Thanks for this I have fond memories of Poughkeepsie beautiful 😍
Poughkeepsie have 2 sides: The City side and the town side. I go there almost every day

Have you ever done Cold Spring? Beautiful!
Very beautiful views from the bridge! Enjoyed your walking tour! Have you ever been to Ithaca, NY, and surrounding area? Good scenic views there.
I love my hometown of PK even tho it can be a bad place to live i Will forever love Poughkeepsie,NY. PS “PK” is nickname of Poughkeepsie beside “The Kingdom”

Thanks again AK...godbless...
Born and raised miss the area much
BEAUTIFUL
Another great walk and Poughkeepsie looks such a beautiful place ,nice bridge, everything looks nice even the trees with their colorful leaves 😎Very enjoyable walk thank you A K 🙂👍!!!
Just stay out of the northside neighborhoods and you'll be just fine.
I guess it does look good when it's not raining...
I was born in Poughkeepsie and moved 30 yrs ago to Saratoga. I forgot how beautiful the area is and how it changed for the better. I may have to visit there soon. Thank you!!
I give actionkid cedit. Not only did he explore the ornamented side of Poughkeepsie but he was willing to trek in it's more dismal parts as well.
Nice foliage.
When I talk to people in new york city, they were afraid of all trees up here, laugh out loud😂
