Main St., Poughkeepsie
Sunday September 23, 2007—11:30AM-11:45AM
I’m on Main Street in Poughkeepsie, NY and all seems to be fairly quiet. I think most people are probably still sleeping.
Starting at the Muddy Cup with strawberry smoothie in hand…
-woman fixing her skirt and looking at the windows at Spectrum. Possibly a bag lady. She keeps walking a little bit then stopping and leaning against buildings.
-passing a girl walking with who may be either a younger sister or even a daughter. The little girl is looking in the windows of Sand Bar.
-cars passing by but other than that it’s very quiet
-people at Hunan Garden put down their metal security gate
-man crossing the street by Expressions—looks like he is in a hurry
-a truck with a plow on the front filled with Mexican men beeped at us while passing (creepy)
-adult male walking quickly with a backpack nods at us as he passes
-City Shoes is closed but they have awesome shoes in the window. No one is outside the store
-man blasting music in his car at the corner of Main and Market St.
-old lady sitting with lots of bags including one from Forever 21 though I doubt the contents are from there. Looks weathered.
-dirty diaper on the ground at the corner of Main and Columbus St.
-more Mexican men give us attention as we walk
-middle age lady pulling a suitcase that looks rather heavy. Maybe she is going to the Grandview Hotel nearby
-guy whistles at us and says ‘yo’
-two ladies walk by with four young children
-man passes by on bike
