As hearing approaches, Probst highlights impacts of I-80 project

On a recent afternoon, state Rep. Tarah Probst (D-189th District) took a drive through Stroudsburg with constituent services adviser Jessica Smith to highlight just a few of the spots that the Interstate 80 widening project has already impacted. And there are bound to be even more issues if the project proceeds, Probst said, especially with the elimination of the Dreher Avenue exit. The representative places the blame on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for failing to do its due diligence in evaluating the properties which fall in the way of the widening project. “This has been going on since I was the mayor, and Stroudsburg Borough has been fighting it now for over 10 years. [PennDOT] just didn’t do their job,” said Probst, who this month won a third term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. “They didn’t do an environmental impact statement — they took it in three sections, so they didn’t have to do that. And for whatever reason, I guess they believe that water doesn’t have connectivity.” Probst said the borough paid about $2,000 to conduct the studies on property near Bryant Street — a part of the next phase of the project — which confirmed “not

This Old-School Pennsylvania Italian Restaurant Is A Dream Come True For Ravioli Lovers

The ravioli here is homemade, and one version packs in six cheeses. That number alone made me stop scrolling. Six is a lot of cheese for one little pasta pillow. The recipes trace back to a woman named Terry, who started cooking for this dining room in 1951. Her name is still on the sign. Her crispy thin-crust pizza still shares the spotlight with that ravioli.

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
