[edit] casinos
could anyone with the proper information and sources put up something about the upcoming casinos and the laws regarding them (slots only? table games? how many casinos?). thanks!
[edit] start
Just put something up to start the article -- I'm realizing now that there is a pretty standard format to the geography articles. I'm not up to doing that yet, so here's an open invitation to wikify!

Correction (take it from someone who hikes county highpoints): the highest Pocono peak is not Ararat (thank God ... it is, or at least used to be, an unforgiving bushwhack to a viewless summit), it's Elk Hill just across the Susquehanna county line.

some correction required:
I've removed mention of "commercialized" Dingman's Falls as opposed to the "free admission" state park, since I didn't see anyone asking me for money when I photoed Dingman's Falls for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area entry. I think the original poster may have been thinking of Bushkill Falls, which is owned by a resort of that name, but until someone takes up the arduous task of trying to list every resort in the Poconos I don't think I should mention that on its own.

[edit] Map added
I added a regional map showing the Poconos in relation to the northeast Appalachians; the same map added to Catskill Mountains page. It could be improved, hopefully it is useful. Pfly 00:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Add a link
Hi my name is Dave Kovaleski, I am a REALTOR in The Pocono area of Pennsylavania. I see that there are no links to any real estate related websites in the Pocono area of your site. The fact that many potential home buyers may use this site as a means to discover information on the area before moving it may be a good idea to offer a link to a pocono real estate related web site my url is http://www.poconoareamls.com if you could please take a look and consider adding the link.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hi.
I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is as upset as I am. About Great Wolf Lodge. And the trees that once were over by the truck Stop. And our school districts. And our property taxes. And our wild life. And our fields, fast becoming houses on quarter acre lots.
If so, please contact me so I don't feel like I am the only person in the Poconos who has taken notice and is subsequently pissed off about it. But pissed in the ready to do something about it kind of thing. But it's all about numbers...

The culture section is poorly written and the data presented is spurious, suggest deletion (or a rewrite if someone more knowledgeable is able) Aestiva 03:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
