Pagodas, Pretzels & Beer...Reading, Pennsylvania!!!

By
Title Insurance with Patriot Land Transfer, Inc.

 Overlooking the fifth largest city in Pennsylvania, Reading, is the 'Japanese' style structure known simply as 'The Pagoda'! Read the wikipedia account and history and check out the attached photos!

Reading, Pennsylvania, population over 84,000, is the county seat of Berks County...a rural suburban city northwest of Philadelphia, our nations first capital!

 Reading is making a comeback due to the energies of many concerned residents and area investors and developers...

 

 

 'The Pretzel City' as it is sometimes called has so many interesting historic venues they are too numerous to mention...from the many 'shopping outlets' to the magnificent 'Sovereign Center'...to its old breweries, steel manufacturers, Albright College,  Reading Phillies baseball...to the beautiful Berkshire hills which surround it!

 

 A fascinating place to tour, shop, dine, see a show or concert, watch semi pro ice hockey,  enjoy a Reading Phillies game just to mention a few!!!

 

 

Put Reading on your short list of places to visit...and start your visit at the 'Pagoda'!!!

Haven't been to the Pagoda since my Grand Parents used to take us to Stoksey's (?) castle for celebration diners. As I recall they had binocular like machines that for a nickel you could get a closer look of the scenery. As for the Reading Area, if you visit, you just have to check out the outlets as well. People come from far and wide looking for bargain's the outlets have to offer.

Scott,

Last time I was there about a year and a half ago, they still had the binocular viewers, but I'm not sure they were a 'nickel' anymore!!! :) Thanks,   Fran

Fran, if there's one thing that I deeply miss from my four years in Philadelphia, it's the delicious pretzels.  Oh, and the cheesesteaks.
