Besides Donald Trump, what other presidental canidates have visited Reading?

I seem to remember hearing that Kennedy did. And I have hazy recollection of Nixon visiting.

Basically looking for decent bars/lounges, basically good date night spot, one huge plus is if they have couches around. Usually my girl and I love to relax with a beer or martini with a couch and sidetable nearby.

Generally cozy environments is what we are looking for, potential for live music, pool tables, whatnot as well.

Any help is appreciated. Nearby works, not even in Reading

Lost house cat, found it on miller and perkiomen (Reading, PA 19602). Purple/pink collar and purple Flea collar. Super cuddly and friendly, looks to be a bit over a year old. Smells like cologne. 10/29/24 10p. I brought her in because we were worried that she wouldn’t do well outside. Also posted on Berks Co Cat Searchgroup on fb.

hi, im looking for any 21+ halloween events that might be happening next weekend nov. 1st&2nd! i was originally planning on going to Reverb’s cartoon rave but it was canceled :(

so if you know anything going down friday and saturday please drop a comment!!

Beer cans that I collected in the seventies.

Insurance company is severely lowballing me on some damage from a leaky roof. Anyone have a public adjuster they had good experiences with? Anyone I should 100% avoid? Tips? Advice?

Born and raised in Lancaster and came to see the pagoda for the first time tonight. Very worth it!

Given it's spooky season I thought I'd see if anyone has any tales of hauted places in Berks. I've read the Charles Adams books, not a fan of the dude really, but some decent stuff but nothing new in at least 20 years.

* The Grings Mill ghost family I fully believe in. 3 different times we've had dogs out in the park and they've 'seen' something and stopped dead and refused to go any further down the path.

* Apparently the Dollar General on Lancaster Pike is haunted. Knew 2 former employees who both spoke of stuff. It used to be on the site of the old Far East chinese place. Also there was a fatal motorcyle accident in the mid 80s right in front of there too.

* South Mountain outside Wernersville. The old church up there in the 60s before it was remodeled into a private home. The organ used to play randomly. Except the organ was long gone.

new to the area, anything fun happening around the area on Halloween? any fun parties at any bar, etc?

Are there any places or activities in Reading that offer sort of like a couples night themed days? my husband and I recently moved to Reading and we’re looking to meet other people and just friends in general. We both work full-time so it’s kinda hard to meet people. We’re also both pretty physically active people and love playing different games and just socializing.

Hello!

I’m new in the area, and I’m looking for your best birthday cake recommendations.

I’m specifically looking for a traditional white/yellow/pound cake with generous amounts of thick, sweet buttercream icing, a little piping decoration, just the most regular, perfect birthday cake!

My favorite cake is the Mrs. Benner’s scratch-made pound cake with buttercream icing from the Landis grocery store bakery, but I don’t necessarily want to drive all the way to Harleysville for a cake.

Hi r/ReadingPa!

Does anyone in the area have Mint Mobile? How is the service? Any issues?

Looking for ideas on where I can have my son’s 7th birthday party in the winter. It would be him, family, and a few friends. I looked into the Reading Museum but their current exhibitions aren’t the best for his age group. Any ideas/suggestions?

Can we play a guessing game, there's only one thing I liked from this, can you guess what it was?

In all seriousness though, do they hear themselves?

Does anyone have an HVAC company they like that will come into the city of Reading?

I live in the city and have found that some companies will go anywhere around the city but not into Reading itself.

Thanks for any suggestions.

We just moved to the area and my wife and I like to sneak away for breakfast dates on occasion. Any favorite breakfast spots?

What neighborhoods/houses go all out with Halloween decorations? Want to spend an evening or two driving around the city to check out the displays. Looking around Reading and the surrounding areas, but really anywhere in Berks.

Looks like another fast food spot but I can’t find anything online

I’m in a little bit of a jam and waiting for some income. In the meantime, anyone know of any under the table jobs? Cleaning, demo, hauling, dishwashing, etc.
