It was time again for a new Project in Poughkeepsie,NY. So I was happy to get a direct flight from Stuttgart to Newark (new connection since a few months with Continental Airlines). No more trouble with connecting flights and so on. Get in, fly for some hours, see movies, land get out and voila welcome Big Apple.
Took the rental car (Nissan Altima 2.5S) and drove to Poughkeepsie,NY
Spent soooooo many times there. Kind of second home.
But things changed a bit in Upstate NY.
One of my favorite electronic Stores CIRCUIT CITY is no more there. No more Circuit City Stores. They got rid of all stores and only do Online Shop. Hmmm, ok I can still live with that, there is BEST BUY. But Best Buy also changed a bit. The CD Section (I spent quite a lot of time there usually) shrunk from tons many aisles with CDs to 2 Aisles !!!! Either the online Stores are soooo poweful now, that real CDs are not wanted anymore or I have just bad luck.
But at the Residence Inn Hotel they also cut down a bit the specials.
Usually there was a Evening Social Dinner Monday thru Thursday. Like Hot Dogs, Tortillas, Burgers, Soup etc. Softdrinks etc.
Now they only have it Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.
Times are changing.
Jet Lag is kicking in. So good night and let's see what else happens in the next weeks :-)
