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.

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.

At Home with Joan Shillington: Reading from Let This Lake Remember
This episode of our ongoing series Writers at Home features poet Joan Shillington reading from her book Let This Lake Remember (Frontenac House 2020).
Let This Lake Remember explores childhood and adolescent years at her father’s cottage on the shores of Lake Wabamun in the ‘60’s. Falling in love with the folds of her childhood, these poems bestow tranquility, grief and longing during the Cold War and beneath the umbrella of WWII.
Joan’s poems and reviews have been published in Grain, Antigonish Review, CV2, Room, Prairie Fire, Calgary Public Library Short Story Dispenser and FreeFall magazines. She has placed first and honourable mention in various contests. Her second book, Folding the Wilderness Within (Frontenac House 2014), was short listed for the City of Calgary W.O. Mitchell Prize (Spring 2015).
