I arrived in Peekskill at 10am this morning and was so impressed with the place I stayed until 5pm. The first person I met was the Chief of Police, who was also loitering & saw me staring at this building. We chatted for awhile. He told me where the best old buildings were and recommended a cafe where I could grab a cup of coffee and some breakfast. He also told me to say hello to Merle Van Sneed for him, and hopes Merle will visit Peekskill sometime.

This is just the beginning of Peek Week. It'll take me all week to describe my lovely day there.
