The Pennsylvania Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

Fairways & Mulligans to offer premium virtual golf in Monroe County

It may be getting too chilly to hit the greens, but soon, avid golfers will have an opportunity to test their swings year-round in the Poconos with the opening of Fairways & Mulligans Golf Lounge in Middle Smithfield Township. The latest third space to hit the region, Fairways & Mulligans , which sits at 4545 Milford Road, East Stroudsburg, aims to be the premier indoor golf, augmented-reality darts, and cocktails and casual dining hot spot in the Poconos. Stepping into the doors, the dark leather couches and seats, cozy chandelier lighting, and elegant bar set a luxurious, but accessible, vibe. As CEO and co-founder Vince Lanni put it, the intent for Fairways & Mulligans – which is also backed by COO and co-founder Ken Tumsuden and Chief Development Officer and partner Eric Rylka – is to be a social spot for golf enthusiasts to enjoy a few rounds or some practice no matter what the weather is, all while enjoying quality time with friends, family, and some good food and drinks. And while fans of Topgolf or X-Golf may find the idea strikingly similar, Lanni said his team wants to provide a distinctly different experience. Lanni said that locations such

Pennsylvania Has 4 Restored Grist Mills Where Water Wheels Still Turn For Visitors

One Pennsylvania mill lets you eat breakfast while a 24-foot water wheel turns on the other side of the glass. I love that detail. It makes pancakes feel like a field trip. That mill is not the only one still at work. Across the state, old wheels keep scooping creek water and spinning heavy stones.

12 Small Pennsylvania Towns Where Neighbors Still Look Out For One Another

In 1856, a local woman hurried to the scene of a terrible train crash near her Pennsylvania home. She spent hours caring for the injured, and people never forgot what she did. A railroad later named its station after her. Then the whole town took her name too. I love that a community chose to honor kindness instead of a general or a rich landowner.
