When visiting someplace I don’t live I always try to be mindful of the fact that I don’t live there and should avoid disturbing the day to day.

You don’t have to be visisting some lost tribe to make an effort to pay attention to local culture and customs. Are people driving really slow and braking every time they see an oncoming car? If you’ve got a string of angry drivers behind you chances are you are not in touch with your surroundings.

Small town life in some areas is still riddled with corruption which results in poor urban planning with underdeveloped road systems for the population in the area. Most people leave the city in part because they are tired of fighting traffic, they didn’t make the sacrifice of city convenience to drive only sixteen miles in an hour. So while you might be a jerk there’s a chance that group of road ragers behind you really wants to have a revolution against their local government and not just run you off the road.

The same powers of observation should be used to keep an eye on your children’s behavior. Are the local kids sitting in the road at two a.m.? Are they running around screaming at that time? No, so neither should yours.

Keep these simple points in mind and everybody has a better weekend.

At long last the residents in the vicinity of Fernwood can breath a sigh of relief as Nemacolin has been awarded the last remaining slots license!!!!

First the Pocono Record took away your ability to voice your opinions.
Though I’m sure there were more than one inappropriate posts there were
far more posts that remained solely because they were aligned with the opinons
of the Pocono Record or Visitors Bureau.

PoconoMedia.net will bring you the real deal on living in the eastern Poconos
and give you a place to voice your concerns and opinions. PoconoMedia.net
will also strive to bring you the best source of “free” online news. In a region
where there are little or no jobs available, much less ones that pay a salary that
would enable a family to raise their children with a stay at home parent and stay
above the poverty line, we should not have to pay for access to online news.
