leeneia, Living 20 miles from Poughkeepsie - I've never heard the accent on "keep" (with long ees)
I've heard the natives always pronounce it puh-KIP-see.
When I first moved to this area, the locals always said "I'm going to The City." I was surprised to learn they were NOT referring to Manhattan-but Poughkeepsie.
