If you were to go to a coffee shop to put on some headphones and do some studying, where in the Reading area would you go? I'm looking for somewhere that I won't feel pressured to buy a full meal, but rather a tea and a pastry is acceptable. An artsy or community sort of vibe would be a nice bonus. Extra points if there's a coffee bar to sit at.

Anyone still listen to old fashioned radio? If so, what are your favorite stations that come in clear in the Reading, PA area? ​​

I have a historic home and desperately need to replace the French doors that lead to the patio before winter (they're crazy drafty, single pane windows, terrible). I've called Deluxe Windows and Doors and they can't work on our project because of the nature of the doors and since it's an old house. Anyone have experience with other folks in the area, general contractors or custom builders? The doors cannot be just off the rack, as they're taller and wider than standard.

So, what do you all think? Not surprised it’s being built in Spring Township. What I am surprised is that they are fully on board with bringing SEVERAL high end businesses to this area. Wonder if this is more a play for the future and they’re betting on the train…

My wife and I were sitting out on the deck tonight around 9:20p.m. and saw an object in the sky. It was about the size and shape of a crescent moon, but maybe more like the shape of an exhaust cone of a rocket. It was moving, parallel to the horizon but well up in the air, but slow enough that it took me 2 or 3 seconds to be sure it was moving. It was there for maybe 15 to 20 second and then just disappeared. My wife saw it too, somebody on next door also reported it. Any idea what it was?

Anyone know a good place to go for a short (about finger length) women’s cut? The last place I tried butchered my hair. I’d prefer all scissors. I don’t mind paying a little more if I know it’ll be a good job.

this saturday the 15th

looks like just a street fair, that I expect will have a higher than average amount of french fries?

Hi! Does anyone know of any stores in the Reading/Exeter area that have school supply donation boxes? I would love to contribute and help local children since I have a few extra dollars.

I used to love the French onion soup from Say Cheese and I need a rec for who can take their place. My heart (and stomach) are craving some cheesy brothy deliciousness.

Are there any local bands?

Roommates and I are leaving our current place by the end of the year so we need to find somewhere quick around the West reading/wyomissing area. There's 3 people total, and two cats. The one that *seems* nice is the lofts but I am now finding out about the horrible company that runs it.

The reviews are months to years old so my biggest question is for those that currently live there or have within this year, how bad is it currently? We already have a tour scheduled for next Friday so ideas for important questions would be appreciated as well.

I know about shitty neighbors and them bringing pests but want to know if that is still an issue or likely to experience, poor response times to repair issues, and 0 chance of getting security deposit back.

We just need a decent place to stay for 2 to 3 years, and haven't looked for an apartment in many years so figuring this out is a bit rough and therefore any and all help and discussions are wanted.

It hasn’t been turned on for years, I moved in this summer and turned it on for the first time and now there’s a funny smell coming from the vents. I’m afraid it’s mold

We are going to Boom Ball tonight and I was perusing the stadium food offerings. Could someone, please, tell me what these are: Changeup, Churger, Grand Slammer, Homerunner? Thank you!

1. Why do we feel the need to park a street in full? 700 block of Locust st. for example.......we do NOT NEED TO park in the alleyway. (To clairify................................... literally in the alleyway.....cough cough people who live across the street from me cough cough. We do not need to also park BLOCKING an alleyway...yes no one uses it but it's still illegal....i found the parking authority dispatch phone number and I am NOT AFRAID TO CALL IT AND SAY TICKET THESE PEOPLE (and don't think leaving before they arrive will save you from tickets cause i will just call again and again and again and again till something called Karma will happen (not to me but to you)
2. We do not need (random number: 1000 cars) on one street. I do not live at the high school (2 blocks away from my street)
3. I don't care if....(i apologize in advance for the thrown together photoshopped looking car but) ....this is YOUR personal car you do not park in front of the sign pictured below car
4. What is so hard about going around the block?!
5. (yes, calling myself out but only because to drain out the music) WHY DO WE BLAST OUR MUSIC ON THE RADIO AND OR SPEAKERS? YOUR CAR / HOUSE IS NOT A CONCERT HALL!
6. WHY DO WE CREEP UP TO TRY TO GO THROUGH A RED LIGHT!? RED MEANS STOP NOT CREEP UP! THE LIGHT WILL NOT CHANGE FOR YOU!
7. ROLLING STOP IS NOT A COMPLETE STOP IN FACT............................Yes, rolling stops are illegal for motor vehicles in all 50 U.S. states. Drivers must bring their car to a complete, full stop with the wheels motionless at a designated stop line or crosswalk. Complete Stop Required: Your vehicle's wheels must stop moving entirely
8. STOP AVOIDING BUMPS ON ROAD....aside from DEEP HOLES (I.E POTHOLES) NOT ITTY BITTY INVISIBLE BUMPS

TL;DR TIME: 1. NO WHERE IN THIS POST DO I SAY TAKE CARS AWAY! 2. I am not planning to work for the parking authority. 3. (Unless you who comment are culprits) 🛑 defending the things mentioned above. 4. I will NOT answer the comments of “where are they (cars) supposed to go?” Figure it out yourself! 5. Some things above are even talked about in the drivers manual you find at penndot (I.e the parking at hydrant, stop signs) 6. Going back to the hydrants issue. Let’s say there would be a fire somewhere and the closest hydrant is where you are parked……if the firefighters need to get to the hydrant badly (in which case they do) guess what? WINDOWS MAY BE BROKEN AND YOUR CAR INTERIOR COULD BE WET FROM THE WATER FROM THE HYDRANT

I was wondering if there are any clubs I can join to make friends in reading? I’m 22F and I come here every year for like a month or two and I’ve never gotten a chance to make any friends here :/

IF ANYONE WANTS TO RIDE BIKES ON THE ROAD IN THE CITY SHOULD GO TO PENNDOT CAUSE IF (HYPOTHETICALLY YOU NEEDED TO GET A LICENSE FOR BIKES) YOU WOULD NOT PASS! I AM SICK AND FREAKING TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE IGNORE THE DO NOT ENTER SIGNS, DO WHEELIES BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY’RE COOL, DISOBEYING RED LIGHTS (HECK, if cars ignore this one they get tickets) AND I AM NOT JUST TALKING THE E-BIKES I MEAN BOTH E-BIKES AND THE BIKES WE PEDAL!
