Hi! I (29F) am currently living right outside of the city. Where do people go to make new friends?

...

Anyone have insider info on what's going in to the former Hitching Post restaurant off 183?

Looking for a good bar while working in the area. Any suggestions would work.

Has anyone been? Is this light display fun for adults or is it more geared towards kids? TIA!

Many years ago, there was a Ponderosa Steakhouse in the Muhlenburg shopping plaza, near Kmart and Nichols. I'm trying to remember exactly where it was. Can anyone tell me what business is there today?

Thanks!

Anyone have any suggestions regarding reasonable concrete companies in or around Berk's county to put in a 16x36 brushed concrete patio?

Thanks!

Takes pretty much all day with the 3+ hr layover for everyone to sightsee and go shopping in the Historic District. Some great eatery’s there as well.

As the title states, my family and I are moving about an hour away in PA and are looking for some assistance moving some of our larger furniture. Any personal recommendations would be helpful, thank you!

I went to this school district for high school. I was in special education with an IEP. I was in the regular track classes but isolated from the other students. Everyone bullied me. Most of the kids were very disrespectful and rude. No help from admin. Special education services were good but I felt isolated from everyone because I had those services. The district is terrible and anybody thinking of moving here - don't. I moved away. Minority students are treated the worst here.

I no longer live in the area, but I'm betting a lot of people will have funny or interesting river-related stories and I want to hear them. (I get most homesick during autumn.)

To get things started, here's mine:

In the early 90s, me and four of my stupid high school buddies decided to float from Hamburg to Leesport and get out at the Wall Street Bridge. (There would have been another guy but he was worried about missing our stop and getting blown out to sea, and said we should take tents that could double as sails so we could navigate. We mutually concluded maybe he wasn't river trip material. He's now a music professor.)

About halfway through our voyage we found a boat pulled out onto the weeds and mud at the side of the river. The boat wasn't in great shape - it had a couple holes in it - and showed little sign of recent use. We motivatedly reasoned that it was abandoned, and took it. The five of us tied our rafts to it, plugged the holes with sticks and leaves, and drifted haphazardly down the river. To add to the celebratory atmosphere, one of us, who happened to be from Japan, would occasionally shout torpedo commands in his native language.

At one point some people on their river-facing back porch in (probably) Shoemakersville saw us coming down the river and ran to get a video camera. I assumed it was their boat and we were going to jail. But they just liked filming morons apparently.

Finally we got to Leesport and started arguing over who would keep the boat. The argument ended when one of us pointed out that no one's car could carry the boat anyway, so we made the rational decision to capsize it and leave it under the bridge. Fastforward to breakfast the next morning when my dad (who knew the whole story) showed me page D-6 of the Reading Eagle: "Capsized Boat Found, Search Yields Nothing." I called to warn my Japanese buddy whose stereotypically strict dad knew we were on the river yesterday, but had not yet seen the article, and my friend cut it out of his copy of the paper and told his dad it was coupons or something. It turns out, they had sent out two divers AND A HELICOPTER looking for bodies.

I felt pretty bad about that, and thought about calling the authorities in Leesie but a) by the next morning the damage was done and money spent and b) they had already concluded it was probably just a loose boat with no loss of life, so no one was waiting for more information. Funny enough, four years later, I did a float with another guy in the same spot and as we were getting out in Leesie, I saw a guy in a fireman's uniform walk by. I mentioned the story to him and he kind of grunted and said, "Yeah, I remember that. A very overexcitable person reported it." So no harm done over the long term I guess.

Somehow neither alcohol nor cannabis played any part in the shenanigans, and no I'm not being funny, we were just morons.

Hi, my mom moved into a nursing home and I'm looking at options for clearing out her house. Are there organizations around Reading that will pick up furniture for donation? I've used Volunteers of America where I live, but their closest locations to Reading are Harrisburg and Allentown.

Does anybody know of any in line pickup games near Kutztown? If not would anybody be interested in starting one? I know longswamp park has an outdoor rink albeit in rough shape but that’s the only one I know of. I also wanted to know of any official leagues in the area. Thanks!
