What’s Up Peekskill? It’s getting chilly!

Leave a comment

Hey P-Rockers, Thursday morning grab a cup of coffee with our Chief of Police (no donut jokes, please), Marine Day on Friday, and thank a Veteran on Saturday (banks and schools and such have Friday off).  So thank ’em on Friday, too, or any day for that matter.  And bundle up, winter is coming.

What’s Up Peekskill? Pumpkin Spice!

Leave a comment

I never had a pumpkin spice latte, that venerable drink which debuted with Starbucks in 2003, and I hope I never will (its the color of our President’s spray tan). But does it really have to be everywhere? I’m surprised I don’t have pumpkin spice toilet paper. And by the way, pumpkin is not a spice, it’s a gourd. She was Ginger Spice, people, not Pumpkin Spice!
