Reading, PA

The hoodiest of the hoods. However, everyone from the burbs claims to be from there, until theyre asked "is it dangerous"

White Girl: I'm from Reading.
Random Guy: Isn't that dangerous?
Girl 1: Well...kinda, if you live in the city. I live OUTSIDE the city.
Me, chiming in: You're from West Lawn bitch.

reading week

A week long period in February or March sans class for college kids to party their stress out and get completely trashed before hitting the books for their midterm exams and term papers. Usually results in several things: a shitload of pictures that no one remembers taking, random hookups, 5 am nights, several walks of shame (or strides of pride, you pick!), far too much money spent, and one hell of an intense hangover at the end of the week.

For some reason, it is more looked forward to than christmas.

college kid 1: that was the best perma-drunk week of my life man!
college kid 2: yea it would help if I could remember anything for all this pain
college kid 1: don't even worry about it, dude- it was reading week! no one cares what happened cuz we were all in the same sitch!

Radical Centrism

Radical Centrism is a political philosophy which seeks to use pragmatism in order to arrive at the underlying benefits to approaches from the Left-wing, Right-wing, and also off the regular spectrum of American politics. By seeking to find the best possible solutions through compromise, while still producing something meaningful and un-watered down, Radical Centrism is an attempt to form a political philosophy that is purely American in origin, and ready to tackle the problems our country faces in the 21st century. There are many proponents of this approach today, including authors such as Mark Satin and Ted Halstead, as well think tanks such as the New America Project, which was founded and run by leaders of the tech industry in Silicon Valley.

Ex- John, 24, and like many of his generation, has decided to abandon a "side" in the polarized Left or Right debate in American politics, and instead choose the pragmatic view of Radical Centrism.

Reading, PA

One of the most crime ridden, poverty stricken cities in the US. Per capita, it has the highest drug, murder, and crime rate in the nation. Used to be the outlet capital of the world, and now is nearly without any business or workers. Here welfare equals daily wages and shootings are considered population control. If you are not hispanic, do not attract attention to yourself here...

Reading high school student found shot and tied up in the back of an SUV, presumably owing someone drug money.
