You probably don’t need a reminder that today is election day, but here are some helpful tips for New York voters.
• Polls are open 6 AM–9 PM. If you’re in line by 9 PM, you’re allowed to vote.
• If you’ve voted in New York before, you don’t need to provide ID to vote in person.
• If you’re voting for the first time in New York, submitted your registration by mail, and didn’t provide a copy of your New York driver’s license, state ID card, or a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows your name and address when you registered, you may need to show one of these documents when you vote in person on Election Day.
• To find your polling location, just google “where do I vote”.
I think it’s safe to assume you have heard who is running for President. Here are the candidates running for New York offices.

It’s been interesting to watch the progress of The Falls, the new luxury apartment complex in Hudson. The sprawling complex has been under construction for a while now on the site of the former Greenport School located at 158 Union Turnpike in Hudson. The Falls’ owner and developer, JMS Collective, demolished everything on the site, except for the original school building, which was built in the early 1900s. In an effort to retain the original building, the old gymnasium has been turned into into a 200-seat banquet hall.
Phase 1 of construction is now complete, and the first batch of apartments are available for rent. Of the 24 apartments currently available, half have already been leased. The Falls offers one-bedroom apartments at $1,500, two-bedroom units at $1,700, and three-bedroom apartments at $1,950 a month. The first phase has another 52 apartments in the works, which will become available over the next 30 to 90 days. Phase 2 will add an additional 40 units the the complex when completed in 2017.
In addition to the apartments, and banquet hall, The Falls will include a fitness center, private movie theater, two outdoor swimming pools, tennis court, nature paths, a playground, and meeting halls.
