Poconos Real Estate
This is the week that quiet Long Pond in the pristine Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania turns into the 2nd largest city in Pennsylvania, Pocono Raceway Pocono 400. With a huge base of loyal fans, Nascar races draw tens of thousand of people to our resort area. And I just read an interesting fact - the biggest toilet facility in the "world," known as the Long John, has 1000 stalls so there is no waiting. I haven't been to a 500 race in a long time so if someone can let me know, are any of those st...
After the 4th’s fireworks scene at Nick’s Lake House practically melted me into the lakeside lawn (see previous blog), I decided it deserved a visit all its own.It just so happened that a band called Separate Roads was playing dockside recently, so my mission was pretty straightforward. Go. Dance. Have fun. The gig ran from 6-10. Turns out there was room to park and plenty of time to party. The deck and dockside bar were already packed, with the crowd smiling, laughing and dancing away. From col...

Though usually on the fence, this year I pursued two new venues and spread the holiday out for maximum bang.Tuesday the 3rd ended with an exciting mega light show at the Mohegan Sun Casino on Rt. 315 in Plains. Traffic was heavy for the 9:30 event but we were able to park quickly. A short walk found us high on a hill beside the highway, nestled with anticipation if not the sweet...
This weekend small town hospitality served up an old-fashioned carnival with a candy-grab parade to boot. With my grandsons, Alex and Markus, I took off for adventure in the no-stoplight river-hugging town of White Haven.Driving in we noticed spectators gathering like ants at a picnic. Corners, curbs, front stoops, car bumpers and dads’ shoulders everywhere filled up quickly as we passed. For me it was a just another drive, but those cherished backseat eyes lit with pure anticipation.We parked o...
POSTPONED FROM JULY 4 TO JULY 5. What is your earliest memory of the 4th of July?
Sparklers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, picnics with friends and family, and of course the fireworks! Why not bring your family and friends to view this spectacular fireworks display.

Split Rock calls it The Great Tastes of Pennsylvania Wine & Food Festival. I simply call it: The Wine Fest.You see I’ve been to quite a few of these things over the years. On the beach. At amusement parks. The back yard… But Split Rock honestly takes the cake! This year the weather made for a fabulous day whether you picked Saturday or Sunday. If you happen to be a little bit extreme when it comes t...
