Pocono Talk

Life in the Poconos

About

ABOUT POCONO TALK

Pocono Talk was created in October 2007 by Andrea and Eric Kimes to provide information and insight about the Pocono Mountains.

Often referred to as “The Poconos” the Pocono Mountains are a beautiful place to both live and visit. Eric lived in the Poconos since he was a young child and Andrea moved to the area here in 2003. We both love the Pocono area and enjoy everything it has to offer. It is a great place to live, work and vacation – from Casinos to Skiing to Resorts to Golf the Poconos has something for everyone.

We live and work in the Poconos and own and run our own website design company, WebLeaps.  Whenever we get the chance we try to take advantage of the numerous activities the area has to offer to visit and see new things.   Having 4 children the Poconos has many great family activities that we have experienced that provide us with information that we then share here.

Through our experiences I hope we are able to provide you with some useful information whether you live here, visit on vacation or are considering moving to the area.

 

About The Poconos

The Pocono Mountains (aka the Poconos) is located about halfway between New York City, NY and Philadelphia, PA.  It also located close to New Jersey and is a destination for both vacation and also home to many commuters who travel to more populated areas to work.

Currently it takes about 2 hours to drive to either Philadelphia or New York but there are distant plans for a commuter rail line to and from the Poconos.
