Reading, PA

Pronounced “Red-ding,” the city has deep roots in the railroad industry. In fact, if you’ve ever played Monopoly, you’re probably already familiar with the Reading Railroad, named after its real-life counterpart.

Residents find plenty of ways to stay active, thanks, in part, to the 125 plus miles of trails in the area.

Reading is a city that punches above its weight in the arts, thanks to venues such as the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, a community cultural and art center.
