Reading, PA














Overlooking the city on Mount Penn is Reading's symbol, a Japanese-style pagoda visible from almost everywhere in town and referred to locally as "The Pagoda". It was built in 1908 as a hotel and restaurant, but was never used for that purpose.


The city lent its name to the now-defunct Reading Railroad, which is one of the four railroad properties in the classic United States version of the Monopoly board game.
During the general decline of heavy manufacturing, Reading was one of the first localities where outlet shopping became a tourist industry. It has been known as "The Pretzel City" because of numerous local pretzel bakeries. However, now there is only one which is the Unique Pretzel Factory. Reading is also known as "Baseballtown," after the Reading Phillies an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies trademarked this moniker to market Reading's rich baseball history.
The city has been the residence of numerous professional athletes of national stature. Among the athletes native to Reading are Baltimore Colts running back, Lenny Moore, and former NBA player Donyell Marshall.
