Today, that history comes alive in new ways, with impressive architecture, longtime community institutions, and a welcoming culture. You’ll be drawn downtown by a diverse population and an unmatched variety of authentic culinary gems representing many cultures. Summer nights sizzle with pop-up beer gardens, theatre performances, outdoor concerts, and more. The city’s signature winter festival brings the ice and fire of the city alive. And, throughout the seasons, you’ll frequent a farmer’s market, lunch cafes with live music, and art shows, to name a few. Reading’s downtown is growing with a Latino flair, meaning you can experience the small shops and cozy eateries that you come to expect from metro areas. Here, you can get to know the people who make Reading buzz. Over the last two decades, downtown Reading has welcomed over $251 million in investment in projects ranging from Entertainment Square (where you’ll see the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts and our state-of-the-art IMAX theater) to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel (nationally-recognized for outstanding service among DoubleTrees), while also encompassing an anchor institution – Reading Area Community College. Reading is a “Walker’s Paradise,” according to walkscore.com, with a walkability score of 94/100. Berks County Community Foundation Iconic Harry Bertoia sculptures are dotted throughout the downtown, and Reading’s downtown gets greener with each passing day (and many volunteers!) Come for an event and stay for empanadas at Mi Casa Su Casa, or drink at downtown pubs such as the Ugly Oyster or the Speckled Hen, where you can experience a pint in an authentically restored 18th-century log house. Vibrant streetscapes and urban amenities await! Matt Christine Photography 8 2019 MEET greater RDG FUELING YOUR BUSINESS. FUELING YOUR LIFE.

  • Greater Reading: a Call to Action
    GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

    Braking News The Official Newsletter of the Stratford Brakettes/Junior Brakettes/18U Select Brakettes Volumne 3,Issue 2 Editor: Bob Baird (203) 218-1066 December 2020 FAU SLUGGER ANSWERED THE ‘CALL’ FOR THE STRATFORD BRAKETTES Stephanie Call never got the opportunity to represent the United States on the softball diamond. She played her Brakettes career just three years into a 12-year hiatus from softball’s next scheduled appearance in the 2020 Olympics. Well, she finally got her chance to play for Team USA last summer as a member of the USA Softball Women’s Slow Pitch Futures team. It’s doubtful she would have received a look if there had been Olympic Games in 2012 or 2016 since the selection process is heavily slanted toward college standouts in the Power Five Conferences. It’s similar to the College Football Playoff where the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC are the chief powerbrokers. Nevertheless, Stephanie Call played on some of the finest teams in Brakettes softball history from 2011-2014. She played three years and eight games, a total of 202 games. During that time the Brakettes compiled a 200-8 overall record and posted two unbeaten seasons (2011 and 2013). Coming to Stratford from Florida Atlantic University, where she played for Hall of Famer Joan Joyce, the 6-foot-2 Call arrived highly touted and she didn’t disappoint. The Fort Lake, FL, native set the individual season home run record with 31 in her first year and followed with marks of 21 and 22. Coming back for a long weekend in 2014, Call played in eight wins and hit five solo homers in 16 at bats, finishing her career with 79 home runs, good for the No.
