A city that was once beautiful and prosperous. Now it's a corrupt, dirty, and ghetto shithole infested by racial card-playing gangstas from New Jersey and the Bronx. Anyone sensible enough to realize how terrible it is has fled to the much safer suburbs.
The Mafia actually ran Reading much better than officials do, and now the city is on the verge of bankruptcy due to irresponsible budgeting.
Random facts about Reading:
The unemployment rate is 14.7% (as of July 2010).
Approximately 35% of the population lives below the poverty line.
The city is famous for it's rail transport. You'll even find that the Reading Railroad is a property in Monopoly. Sadly, it went bankrupt in the 1970s. Nowadays, the stations are empty and abandoned and many tracks go unused.
The city is infamous for corruption. The latest scandal involves Mayor McMahan illegally borrowing $11.5 million from the city sewer fund.
It's generally said that almost everyone who has to deal with the city hates it.

Welcome to Reading, PA: the Little Bronx! Just a heads up, though, there's no Little Manhattan next to it...
