October 7, 201311 yr West Chester is a great college town. Reading has potential. Endless potential. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 9, 201311 yr West Chester looks kind of bland with all that federal stuff and very few cornices or detailings. Reading looks great, especially in contrast.
October 27, 201311 yr Excellent pictures, ink, thanks for posting them. I like Reading a lot for its amazing density, row house neighborhoods, railroad history. Your shots are great, but you missed the old downtown train station which is undergoing renovation - may be completed by now. While in the neighborhood, take a look at York, PA, another well preserved small city. See my pictures at Picasaweb.google.com/miklospogonyi
