Any Idea What This Poughkeepsie Business Was Back in the Day? Before this Poughkeepsie location helped with body issues, what business called this location home? Over the last few weeks, we've had so much fun trying to identify what used to be in certain locations across the Hudson Valley. If you've lived in the area, like I have for the last 30 years or so, you've noticed that so many businesses have come and gone over the years. There are so many of them that I've turned identifying them into a game I play with my kids all the time. We've had fun trying to figure out what was floating in Newburgh, with your help we figured out what this abandoned building on Route 55 in Poughkeepsie used to be, and just last night as we were driving on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie, we stumbled across another business that was once something different then it is today.
