Trying to find someone local to work with to fight and sue Navient for my wife over loans connected to Art Institute closure. Thanks for any reccs!!

This happened on June last year and this tree limb tore the electrical connection off of my house as it fell into my yard. My contractor cut up the big pieces, but there’s a lot of debris.

I had one guy give me a quote - telling me that with the wood chipper and three guys he could get it done in half an hour. $450. That’s ridiculous. I got another quote for $300 but the guy wanted me to guarantee that he could get parking for his 18 foot truck in front of my house. 🙄

Thanks for any recommendations.

All, I do not have first hand knowledge/sighting of this (I live states away at this time). But, I was informed by a family member that she saw ICE agents 3x this afternoon/evening on her drive home from work.

Please be very aware of your surroundings and continue to look out for the community of Reading and extending areas. We have to keep one another safe.

Hi all! I’m about to start having to commute into Philly daily from Reading. I know it’s going to be painful/expensive no matter what - but reaching out to see if anyone has any tips or tricks. I do have a car but am trying to weigh gas and parking costs against the fact that it is the most direct route. I also cannot relocate without breaking my lease… so that isn’t an option for right now. TIA!

Is it really that bad?

Where do people go to get their taxes done? I refuse to use turbo tax or H&R Block. I usually would do it myself but we previously lived in Jersey for 6 months so it gets a little complicated between states.

Hi, first time mom here. Does anyone have any suggestions on stores that we can go to in the area to look at/test baby gear before buying? I am thinking strollers and/or car seats, likely floor models. Since all the baby stores have closed locally, it doesn’t feel like we have many options. Thanks!

Hey! So I’m 28/f and, like the title says, I really want to start a group where we could all meet together at different places to work on our projects

I saw a TikTok of this group of best friends who would get together to knit and I’d love to start something like that around here 😊

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

Hey, I’m new in the area and I’m looking for the best donuts in town! My favorite varieties are sour cream/old fashioned or maybe a chocolate cake, but I’m down to try whatever places get recommended!

Hi people of Reading, I recently found out that Dr. Hubert Wu left the St Joe's practice on Perkiomen. That is all the information I received. Does anyone know what happened or if he's still in the area? I rather not change doctors if I can avoid it. Thank in advance.

The title is the post. Who in town, or nearby, has the best chai?

I have chai to make at home but it’s never as good as when I order at a coffee shop.

We are thinking of going under contract for a house in Riverview Park area (near the Felix Dam Muhlenberg Park). We were able to drive around the neighborhood and it was really quiet and lowkey. I understand the main area of Reading has some issues, but this area really seemed great to us!

Curious anyone elses thoughts on this area and nearby?

Appreciate the input!

Hi! I’m a 20-year-old girl looking to meet new people. 😊 I’m into [art, gaming, nails, traveling and if you're also looking to make new friends, chat or share some cool recommendations, feel free to reach out!

Currently with UGI and looking into other options. Wondering what others in the area may have/recommend, thanks.

I'm looking for someone to setup my guitar, preferably if they don't take several weeks to return the guitar. I used to go to Beth from Penn Avenue Music, but she retired and the guy who took her place only works on Saturdays, so going through them is a weeks-long process. Any suggestions of people in the Reading/Berks area would be great! Thanks

Where the hell are they? I need minnows!!

Hi folks! We will be moving to the Reading area due to a job relocation. We are moving from Texas, and are completely lost on where to start looking. We don’t want to pay high property taxes and we want a nice/safe area with a minimum of one acre as we do have 4 large dogs. School districts do not matter as our children are grown. We would like to be no more than 30 miles from Reading. Looking for recommendations on areas from people who live there. Thank you in advance for your input.

Small family moving to PA from CO and looked at Wyomissing. There was a recent house listing that seemed nice and a decent street too.

Curious if anyone has input on the town itself?

How is reading for night life and or restaurants?

Looking to switch GP’s with my new insurance and wondering if anyone may have any recs on a doctor they’re happy with. Thanks in advance.

Any decently run places hiring servers or bartenders at the moment? My oldest is looking to switch places (her current place is run terribly).

My wife has an older car (2008) that has some fairly minor rust spots on various places on the body. We would like to have those taken care of before they get worse and cause any issues. We are looking for a reliable, honest body shop that does good work to take the car to for an estimate. Who would you all suggest?

I grew up in Lancaster and we would visit family in Reading quite often. I sae that this property went for sale and the business went out of business. When did this happen?

So, I’ve been EXTREMELY curious as to what the 2005 & 2017 BARTA Ride Guides looked like, even the older ones from the late 90’s! I’ve only been riding BARTA since about 2020. Until recent found out there were old ones which is why there isn’t a route 6, 13, 21! Would any y’all happen to have it?
