What you should know: if you have a fireplace or plan to have one installed, or if you enjoy outdoor fireside evenings around the fire pit, you should contact Dan at the Bearded Cordsman. He will consult with you about what kind of wood would be the most effective for your situation. For example, I have a one year-old wood-burning fireplace insert which can only take wood of certain lengths. Every time DAN delivers to me, he is cognizant of that. I have enjoyed my fires so much this year. In addition to them being heat efficient, they are a pleasure with the beautiful wood that Dan has provided to me. His pricing is fair. His service is impeccable. You want to do business with with him. He is so kind and nice.

Spewing racially charged comments towards the residents. Called on to report this conduct and ended up falling on deaf ears. Today, as I drove down Main St in Poughkeepsie. I observed two workers unloading a service truck gawking and woofing. At what could've been a 20-25 year old young lady. From my window I yelled " get back to work" in reply I believe I heard a vulgar response. I from that time and for the following hour was bounced around on calls to file a report. Again feeling the Deaf Ear! Unacceptable Central HUDSON !!!

* If I could give Central Hudson -10 stars, I absolutely would…read more My experience with Central Hudson has been nothing short of infuriating, exhausting, and deeply disappointing. The customer service, billing practices, communication, and overall treatment of customers have been absolutely unacceptable. A particularly disturbing incident happened during our most recent interaction with one of their representatives, Maria. She came to our property and disconnected our power without knocking, ringing the doorbell, or providing any notice or warning that she was about to do so. There was no meaningful attempt to communicate with us before taking an action that directly affected our household. That level of disregard is completely unacceptable. And unfortunately, this is not an isolated frustration. We have repeatedly encountered issues involving questionable billing, inaccurate readings, audit concerns, unexplained fees, and conflicting information regarding our account status. We have made payments in full, only to subsequently be told that we are past due or facing a final termination warning because of charges and fees that we were never properly informed about or given an opportunity to acknowledge or dispute. At some point, customers have to be able to trust that their utility company is accurately measuring usage, accurately billing them, properly documenting charges, and communicating before taking serious action. That basic level of accountability has been severely lacking in our experience. What makes this even more frustrating is that, in our area, there aren't many alternatives. We are seriously looking into transitioning to a full solar setup because we would rather invest in our own energy solution than continue feeling trapped in a system where we have so little confidence in the company providing our service. And if another legitimate energy provider becomes available in our area, I will switch without hesitation. Central Hudson should be listening to the customers who have been voicing these concerns instead of treating them as isolated complaints. The fact that so many other customers have expressed similar frustrations only makes this experience more concerning. Customers deserve transparency. Customers deserve accurate billing. Customers deserve advance communication. And customers absolutely deserve to be treated with basic respect. I am beyond disgusted with my experience with Central Hudson, and at this point, I would strongly encourage anyone considering their energy options to do your research, understand your bills, document every interaction, and know your rights as a customer. Central Hudson: this needs to be better.

While part of the F. D. R. National Historical site in Hyde Park, a visit to Top Cottage requires…read morethe purchase of an additional ticket, a parks service provided bus ride (included in the Top Cottage ticket price) and about 90 minutes total commitment to see it. (About an hour at the cottage and the remainder bus time) For some or all of those reasons, many folks do not have Top Cottage on their list of things to do when visiting the FDR site. That is a shame because for four of us visiting the FDR site earlier this month, Top Cottage was one of the highlights. Not only of the F.D.R. site but of the three days we spent in the Hudson River Valley. Highly recommended! Built during his second term of office, Top Cottage is where Roosevelt would "escape the mob" (although you'll learn that neither he nor anyone else over nighted here during his time as President) to recharge his spirit. FDR also entertained visiting dignitaries here - like the King and Queen of England for the famous "hot dog picnic". Sadly, after FDR's death one of his sons and his wife moved into Top Cottage and it was eventually sold to settle the son's divorce, then sold again and only came into the possession of the Park' service in the late 1990's (?). It opened to the public in 2001. At Top Cottage you'll be able to browse around the inside on your own and if it is a nice day you'll have the great pleasure of sitting out on the same back porch as did FDR, Winston Churchill and others and listen to the wind and watch the same hills in the distance. It's easy to understand why Roosevelt felt his spirit revived by time spent there. And if you are very fortunate you will have Bob to drive the Top Cottage bus (such a nice guy) and remarkable "Ranger Charlotte" leading the tour. (That's her providing a wonderful tutorial on the Top Cottage porch in one of our photos.) You can find more information about Top Cottage at the National Parks service web page listed here. http://www.nps.gov/hofr/planyourvisit/top-cottage.htm If you're in Hyde Park, treat yourself and visit it. (Open daily from May through October.) Only a few tours (maybe four?) are offered daily and only a limited number of people (maybe 16?) are permitted on each tour. So just as Roosevelt used Top Cottage to "escape the mob", that's also true for those who tour it now. A tip: After riding the bus up, you'll have an option to ride the bus back to Wallace Center the FDR site or walk down a forest path to Valkill when weather permits.

Excellent spot. 1)…read moreThis is FDR's retreat during his presidency. 2) Also known for the famous visitors such as Churchill. 3) The tour is nice, and you can sit and touch most of the stuff inside. 4) I would not say to put this on top of your to do list, it is something is you saw the other 4 spots and just want to get this out the bucket list.
