Pronounce puh KIP see. GET IT RIGHT!

Poughkeepsie is split into Town of Poughkeepsie and City of Poughkeepsie. For no reason. City has low taxes, small houses. Town has huge houses, high taxes. Town includes Arlington district (Pleasant Valley, Lagrange, Overlook, Titusville etc.) and Spackenkill District (Hagan, Nassau, Beachwood).
The town's HIGH taxes carry the weight of the entire town.
Poughkeepsie is the home of Vassar College. One of the top colleges in the nation.
Poughkeepsie is near Hyde Park, Wappingers, Newburgh, Beacon, Highland, and other towns.
Spackenkill High School, a small school with about 500 students, is considered to be the best high school. This is only in grades, education. The lockers don't even have locks.

read the first definition, and then add this to the bottom:
its a place where all the kids in middle and high school wished they were from New York City and they all want to be like 50 Cent, G-Unit, The Game, the Gotti boys, etc.
its basically a college town with alot of colleges near it or in it, and all the kids/college people go clubbing almost every night and drink alcoholic beverages all the time. if you dont drink and go to the club, atleast on wed, thurs, fri, sat, sun, mon, (note i left out tuesday on purpose) then you are not considered "cool" or "popular".
