• The Hudson Valley, New York Thrift Shops Where $20 Fills A Whole Bag (takingthekids.com) — Peekskill thrifters can stretch twenty dollars at Stark Vintage on South Street, especially during its occasional fill-a-bag sales that turn a modest budget into a stack of retro tees. The guide also spotlights other Hudson Valley thrift and church shops where low prices, community missions, and special sale days make clothing, books, and housewares surprisingly affordable for budget-conscious shoppers.
   

• 12.4-Kilogram Peekskill Meteorite Crashes Into Chevrolet Malibu (time.news) — Peekskill once hosted one of the world's most famous meteorite strikes, when a 12.4‑kilogram space rock crashed into a parked Chevrolet Malibu on October 9, 1992. Dozens of accidental videos from high school football games helped scientists reconstruct its path and orbit, turning a quiet neighborhood driveway into a landmark of planetary science and a quirky piece of space history.
