Save Our Social Security Office + Grab a Slice at Herbs & Dough! 🍕

Good afternoon, Poughkeepsie. It feels a lot less necessary to remind you that Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday morning now that even dishwashers have WiFi and change automatically but we’re old school so we’re gonna do it anyway. Does anyone still have a clock they have to physically wind back?

In today’s Poughkeepsie Weekly:

• Community Gathers to Prevent Cuts to Social Security and Housing

• Herbs & Dough 🍕 

• This Weekend 😎

Let’s get to it.
