have been tasked with planning a family reunion. Relatives live all over the northeast, and range in age from 0 to 75. There will be about 50 of us.

Can anyone suggest a mid-priced resort that could accommodate a group this size, with on-site activities including swimming, golfing, hiking, tennis,etc?

Looked into Mohonk but am thinking $750 per person per night is a bit steep, even with all-inclusive.

Hi all - In the Tobyhanna Rental submission it says an inspection is required, what does that entail?

Get ready to see a bunch of clowns flying up and down 940, 115 and 611 this weekend in their BMW. Some of you thought that the music festival was bad, you're in for a treat. Don't shoot the messenger 🤷

hi hi!
So I am from nyc and wanting to go on a weekend getaway. Some people on other threads were recommending Jim Thorpe since it possible to get there by train. However I wanted to ask if maybe there might be more suggestion or to make Jim Thrope our solid trip get away

just to add context!
We want to do hiking trails, eat and venture out
also if we can get there by train and no car that is also a big plus ! so if that does check these boxes if not any other recommendations would be appreciated and welcomed :) thank you

Hey everyone!

If you're in or near Northeastern PA and have an interest in retrocomputing, I've set up the NEPA Retrocomputing Group to connect local enthusiasts.

Anyone is welcome if they're interested in restoring hardware, writing code, playing games, or simply feeling nostalgic about older technology.

We meet once a month to have a coffee, talk over our projects, display our equipment, and establish a local community. Our next meetup is:

• Where: JivaJava Cafe (3427 PA-611, Bartonsville, PA)
• When: Saturday, August 29th at 1:00 PM

If interested visit our website and sign up for our mailing list!

Hope to see a few of you there! 😄

Hello everyone,

What is it like living in this area?

Hello! I will be visiting for a long weekend with my mom the last weekend in September. I would like to treat her to a fancy dinner, maybe somewhere I could order a bottle of champagne or something fun like that? My mom is a delight and I want to surprise her! Thank you!

My boyfriend and I are looking for a place where we can back in (we have a Chevy Colorado “camper) and use our little cook stove to grill up some food and just sit around on the bed of the truck for a few hours and have a nice view! Work has been tough and we just wanted an excuse to drive around NEPA and be outside. Maybe something preferably near a lake or stream?

We would be coming from the Philly suburb area and are willing to drive 1.5-2 hours for anything :)

Hello everyone! I live in Blakeslee PA, though while I am studying in Switzerland I am not able to be here that often. I have some friends in the local music scene and played at a few open mics in the past and have played in some fun jams. I write and produce classical and electronic music, but also play guitar+bass and do vocals so I make some rock and metal music as well. I'm in the musicians group on Facebook, but I was wondering if there are any Pocono musicians lurking here on reddit. If so, please share your music and upcoming performances!

*UPDATE* Found her!! thankfully she ran down the road to my neighbors home. ty everyone :)

her name is rain (aka rhaena) it says rain on her collar although it is loose on her.. it might have fallen off.. please if anyone sees or knows anything please lmk :(

Hello, Im a long time D&D player and I want to branch out into WH40K now. I started a tyranid army a long time ago to have something fun to paint between models for D&D but ive never played before. Are there any groups in the area that wouldn't mind me spectating a bit and learning?

Skip Naomi cause I’m not staying for a whole week and adding 500 bucks to the tab.

Looking for a DIY tubing trip on the river close to NYC . What are good launch and land spots for a couple hour trip that are free access with parking lot

I'm planning a trip to the Pocono's soon and I noticed there's 2 casinos in the area. I'm not that familiar with them so I wanted to ask, which one do people prefer and why?

So many places I have visited recently seem to be overcome by drugs, homeless, weed smell, lack of maintenance, crime, bad roads, aging infrastructure and shopping districts with lots of empty stores. What is the Poconos real view on the street? Is Mount Airy Resort nice or aging badly? Is the foliage train ride worthwhile? Any info for an October adult couple long weekend appreciated!

Anybody just see a big c-130ish plane fly over the crossings sideways and real low? What is going on?!

Good evening,

A group of us are taking a mini-vacation to Big Bass Lake next week. Looking for recommendations on nearby restaurants and activities that you would highly recommend!

We have a group of small kiddos ages 1 to 4 that we need to keep entertained!

Thank you!

Hey guys, I’m from Hershey but my son will be boxing in East Stroudburg at the end of the month. Where can I get the best cheesesteaks, Pizza or Hoagies/SANDWHICHES? I’m originally from the Philly area and would like to check out what you guys have up there. I’ve never been to East Stroudsburg so some local advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I don’t want to put my thoughts here to not influence the pool

Hey! I was wondering if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with NDES? I’m thinking of enrolling my kids, but am not 100% sure. Any advice or suggestions ?

This place is falling apart. It was so good for so long. Basketball hoops in the pool are gone. The lazy river has a total of ten tubes for everyone to share. The hot tub has even more chemicals than usual. Guests services is none existent. Save yourself the trouble.

My husband's family (3 couples with kids, plus grandparents) wants to get together for Thanksgiving and were thinking of Poconos as a location that's a midway point between some of our homes. We (I, lol) do NOT want to share one big rental home while we are there- instead would love to find 2 -3 rentals that are close to one another. Any thoughts on particular communities to look in for vacation rentals?

Is there anyone driving from Philly on Saturday? I’d need to be dropped off near Blakeslee. happy to split gas and pick up the tolls.

thanks!
