This is a landmark occasion. A date to be remembered by all peoples far and wide. A date that should be marked on every calendar, even those that for whatever reason, revolve around the moon.
Most people reading this blog probably know that I'm from some town in upstate New York. Some scoff at the name, Hopewell Junction, but let me tell you now, we are a hometown to be reckoned with. Believe it or not, we were ranked as the 31st best place to live in America in 2005 by Money Magazine, as can be seen here. Not only that, but we are also a part of what urban economists call the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown Metropolitan Area.
So what, you say? Well, Poughkeepsie was mentioned in my Urban Studies class today!
Okay, so that was dumb. But it's kinda neat when you hear of such a random place you call home mentioned in class. Apparently, Poughkeepsie had the 16th greatest density gain in America from 1982-1997. And it gained a staggering ONE percent! Hell yeah to you, good ol' Po-Town!
And that, my friends, will end this terrible, terrible, blog post.
