Meet 'The Kingston Neighborhood Watch Guy'

Michael D'Arcy, founder of the Kingston Neighborhood Watch and avid SeeClickFix user, introduces himself at an informal meeting of the Kingston Digital Corridor at Keegan Ales in Kingston in April.



The Kingston Neighborhood Watch is having its first 'Watch Walk' on Thursday.

Mid-Hudson Valley blogging-heads

Your indispensable source for useless knowledge. Here's the latest pulse:

* Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds doesn't know how to spell "and" in his announcement that city greenbacks for the Andretta Pool and Kingston Point Beach have been restored. That's good news. Once again, you'll be able to swim in other people's pee. WIN!

* Legislative Barbie (?) Brittany Turner needs an explanation about why Democrats, Republicans, Greens and Progressives suck (I'm badly paraphrasing, obviously. She said "WTF").

* The Ulster County Development Corp. advances a seminar that will tackle the question, "How can we give our Main Streets the best chance for success?" Here's an idea: Don't put it in Newburgh.

* Also, the UCDC mentioned that the Mohonk Mountain House was featured on the "Today Show," not today. It's a great trip if you live in New York City! Oh, yeah, but you don't.

* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj want's you to check your teeth and eyes.

* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch met on Tuesday and decided to take a hike.

* Uber photographer Jen Kiaba talks about how to get some freebies, for $15

* Mid-Hudson music follower Ethan Barnett writes a sentence using "Onderrock," "Dusk," "Seminal Stain," "Very Important Businessmen" and "Loud Youth."


* Bistro-to-Go talks about grilled vegetables, which would look even more delicious if they were next to a dead chicken.

* The Kingston Digital Corridor is drinking again.

Once upon a blog

Blog posts from around the mid-Hudson Valley, courtesy of http://www.dailyfreeman.com/blogs:

* Ulster County Legislator Michael Madsen is not in Ulster County.

* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney has another post that can be summarized in one word: "No."

* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch has a Korrecshun.

* Rebecca Martin at KingstonCitizens.org talks about a "City Gardens Coalition" or "Coalición Ciudad Jardín Conjunto," which actually translates to Coalition of the Garden City Band. But "A" for esfuerzo (If you need to know, that's "A," in Spanish).

* Bistro-to-Go has something to say about dead chickens.

* If, for whatever reason, the idea of a large number of dead chickens doesn't make you hungry, you can try Rhubarb Ginger Oat Squares, courtesy of At the Farmer's Market.

* 90MilesNorth is not interested in your list of cool web sites.

* Over at SUNY New Paltz, nostalgia, good-byes and emoticons, :P Also, why study if you can go to Paris? or Wales?

This week in blogdom-land-place-stuff-WHAAAA?

* Ulster County Legislator Michael Madsen talks about the Hudson Landing and probably needs a reminder that he's not in the Kingston Common Council anymore.

* Ulster County Legislator Mike Sweeney has a post that can be summarized in one word, "No."

* Kingston Alderwoman Andi-Turco Levin says that the city's planning board, "gave away the store." This being Kingston, I bet the store was a pharmacy.

* Kingston Alderman Bill Reynolds touts the bike racks on Broadway, and then posts this photo of people not using them.



I've got a better one:

FAIL!

* Also by Reynolds: CATS ATTACK!



WIN!

* The Ulster County Development Corporation likes booze.

* The UCDC also notes that The New York Times wrote about Rosendale (in April, you guys!) and the Walkway Over The Hudson on Monday. Unrelated attraction (as in, not in Ulster and not quite an "attraction"): the Newburgh gangs story by the Times on Tuesday - and FBI raids today.

* Kingston Main Street Manager Nancy Donskoj reminds you that Kingston is a destination. Also good for Kingston: Not being called Newburgh.

* The Kingston Neighborhood Watch IS WATCHING YOU! The group also has a new writer, Allison Teetsel, who - spoiler alert! - writes.

* KingstonCitizens.org talks about very foreign concepts called "taxes" and "voting." Strange stuff.

* In a moving post, Claudia D'Arcy shared that she did not quite enjoy Mother's Day and needed one more card, hopefully not like this one:

Thanks for always thinking about me to the detriment of your own mental health

* Jen Kiaba talks about ... HER CAT!

* Ethan Barnett posts a video of a band with a name I can't pronounce. For the record, I also can't pronounce "juice." I'm told it sounds like "jews," which sounds pretty weird. Example: "Who drank my jews?"

* Bistro-to-go has a Popeye moment.

* Something's rotten in the state of Hudson Valley Gardens online.

* At the Farmer's Market shares a recipe for Rhubarb Ginger Syrup, not to be confused with high-fructose corn syrup.

* Over at Dragon Search, a blog about how to blog (Hint: don't write about how to blog); an online marketing post about peanuts; the successful UCDC tourism conference not being so successful; and hoking up (not in that way).

* Kingston Digital Corridor's Alex Brown talks about "common grounds" and drops the name of a crazy person who works at the Freeman.
