Cultural and Culinary Highlights of Reading Pennsylvania
There's more to Reading than pretzels and pagodas. Pennsylvania's fourth-largest city is spread out across ten square miles, with most attractions located east of the Schuylkill River. The Berks County Heritage Center is an ideal first stop for a Reading newbie. Here, you'll get a historical overview of the area in a serene setting along the Tulpehocken Creek. And you'll have to walk across one of Pennsylvania's famous covered bridges to get there.
Like many American cities that has seen major industries leave, Reading has had to get creative with former industrial spaces. For an example of this, check out GoggleWorks, which challenges human beings to transform lives through unique interactions with art in an 1871 goggle factory.
If you're an aviation geek, check out the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, where you can see a Capital Airlines Vickers Viscount along with an Eastern Airlines Martin 4-0-4. Both aircraft still take to the friendly skies at least once a year. There's also a cool firefighter museum south of downtown.
In Downtown Reading, upscale restaurants like Judy's on Cherry and Cheers American Bistro are mixed in with more casual places like Mofongo and the classic Peanut Bar. At the latter, you can throw your empty peanut shells on the floor. For the best variety, head across the Schuylkill River to West Reading, which has a vibrant main street (Penn Ave) lined with small boutiques, award-winning cupcakes and international restaurants. Chatty Monks is probably the quirkiest place in West Reading. Here, you can enjoy Belgian beers along with classic American pub food with an Indian twist.
If you're planning to explore Reading without a car, I recommend staying at the DoubleTree across from the Santander Arena. But you will need a car to visit the Reading Pagoda as well as most of the museums.

Pennsylvania
The Keystone state -- key to America's independence. Check out the history and culture of Pennsylvania, where many German-speaking immigrants settled, with Christopher Hoh. #50states #PA
Transcript:
Hello, my name is Christopher Hoh. I work in the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, and I was born and brought up in the the Keystone State.
Pennsylvania was one of the original 13 colonies. It was called the Keystone State in the 18th century because of its central location and role in U.S. history. The first capital of the United States was in Philadelphia.
Before it was colonized, the area was home to Native American tribes, including the Lenape and the Susquehannok.
The name Pennsylvania means, Penn's Woods. In 1681, England's King Charles II gave the land to William Penn as payment for a debt of 16,000 pounds. This was one of the largest land grants to an individual in history.
William Penn was a member of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, who were persecuted in England. So Penn established the colony for any people persecuted for their faith.
Many religious exiles from Europe settled in Pennsylvania, including the Amish, an Anabaptist sect. Today, the Amish live much as they did in the 17th century, without modern conveniences such as electricity and cars.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Germans migrated to Pennsylvania in large numbers. English‐speakers mispronounced the German word, Deutsch, as Dutch, and these immigrants became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
In many Pennsylvania communities, German was spoken as the language of everyday life into the early 1900's. You can still hear German dialects in the farmers' markets of Lancaster and Reading, my home town.
The language is similar to Germany's Palatinate dialect. For example, the man's dog -- der Hund des Mannes -- is this in PA Dutch -- em Mann sei Hund.
Today, 12.7 million people live in Pennsylvania, the sixth most populous state in the U.S. It covers over 46,000 square miles (more than 119,000 km2 ).
Pennsylvania has several large cities. Philadelphia was known in the 1700's as the Athens of America because of its rich cultural life.
Part of that is attributed to Pennsylvania's most famous citizen, Benjamin Franklin -- author, inventor, philosopher, businessman, diplomat and revolutionary leader.
Philadelphia is also home to the Liberty Bell, the icon of American freedom. It remains on view, cracked, on Independence Mall, where the Continental Congress met and in 1776 declared independence from Britain.
Here are some other firsts from Pennsylvania:
The first medical school, hospital, library and insurance company were established in there.
The first commercially drilled oil well near Titusville produced the first U.S. oil boom in 1859.
The first U.S. Envoy to Austria in 1838 was Henry A.P. Muhlenberg, from Lancaster.
And the Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest zoo in America.
My hometown, Reading, is located in southeastern Pennsylvania. Formerly a textile and manufacturing center, Reading became known as The Factory Outlet Capital of the World.
The surrounding area has been called the Snack Food Capital of the World, leading all other states in the production of pretzels, chips and candy.
The state has some other interesting food facts.
The Yuengling Brewery, in Pottsville, is the oldest operating brewery in America, established in 1829.
A little further west is Hershey, the birthplace of Hershey chocolate bars. The town smells of chocolate and the street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses.
And don't forget Philly cheese steaks.
Pennsylvania gave birth to one US President -- James Buchanan in the 1800s.
Vice President Joe Biden was born in Scranton.
Many actors also come from Pennsylvania including Kevin Bacon, Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Sharon Stone, to name a few.
Pennsylvania has always had a creative music scene. Each religious sect that settled in Pennsylvania brought with it a unique style of music. The Moravians, in Bethlehem, introduced organs and trombones into their worship. The Mennonites and Lutherans sang heartily, from German hymnbooks. And the Ephrata Cloister was known for beautiful harmony.
Popular singers today include Taylor Swift, from Wyomissing, and Christina Aguilera and George Benson, from Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the famous TV program, American Bandstand, which introduced singers and bands to teenagers for more than 20 years.
I travel the world but I still have a strong connection to my home state: I'm a career diplomat -- like Benjamin Franklin, our country's first envoy. I'm also a composer who benefited from my home state's musical milieu.
I'm proud to come from Pennsylvania, the land of the Liberty Bell, which helped inspire the cause of freedom for all humanity.

From Wikipedia:
Reading (/ˈrɛdɪŋ/ RED-ing; Pennsylvania Dutch: Reddin) is a city in and the county seat of Berks County, Pennsylvania. With a population of 95,112 as of the 2020 census, it is the fourth-largest city in Pennsylvania after Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown. Located in the southeastern part of the state, it is the principal city of the Greater Reading Area, home to 420,152 residents. The city is part of the Delaware Valley.
Reading is part of the Delaware Valley metropolitan statistical area, which also includes Philadelphia, Camden, and other urban areas. With a 2020 population of 6,228,601, the Delaware Valley is the seventh largest metropolitan region in the nation as of 2020.
Reading is situated roughly halfway between the state's most populous city, Philadelphia, and the state capital, Harrisburg. It lies along a major transportation route from Central to Eastern Pennsylvania, and lent its name to the now-defunct Reading Company (popularly the Reading Railroad), which transported anthracite coal from the Pennsylvania Coal Region to the eastern United States via the Port of Philadelphia. Reading Railroad is one of the four railroad properties in the classic United States version of the Monopoly board game. Reading was one of the first localities where outlet shopping became a tourist industry. It has been known as The Pretzel City, because of numerous local pretzel bakeries; currently, Bachman, Dieffenbach, Tom Sturgis, and Unique Pretzel bakeries call the Reading area home. In recent years, the Reading area has become a destination for cyclists. With more than 125 miles of trails in five major preserves, it is an International Mountain Bicycling Association Ride Center.
According to 2010 U.S. Census data, Reading had the highest share of citizens living in poverty in the nation for cities with populations of more than 65,000. Reading's poverty rate fell over the next decade. Reading's poverty rate in the 2018 five-year American Community Survey showed that 35.4% of the city's residents were below the poverty line, or less than the infamous 41.3% from 2011, when Reading was declared the poorest small city in the nation.
Reading is located 38.8 miles (62.4 km) southwest of Allentown and 62.9 miles (101.2 km) northwest of Philadelphia.

Exploring The WITCH'S HAT PAVILION | Neversink Mountain PA | Abandoned Buildings
Hey guys! Today's video is all about a little hike I did with my friends on Neversink Mountain. We took the Upper Glen Trail to get to the Witch's Hat.
The Witch's Hat is a pavilion which was built during the late 1800s, early 1900s in Reading, Pennsylvania. Meant to be a symbol of the wealthy, it was part of the Neversink Mountain hotel back in the day.
It provided stunning views and a quiet place for the hotel's residents to enjoy the beautiful, mountain views of Reading.
