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.

Get the Real quick mug.A vague measurement of time, typically applied to delivery of a software project. It is used sarcastically, to indicate that the product has missed one or several promised delivery dates, and rather than embarrassing themselves by announcing and missing another deadline, the developer is simply saying it will be ready "real soon now." When someone says a product is due out "real soon now" chances are they really don't expect it any time soon. Also abbreviated as RSN.
First they told us that the product would be done end of first quarter, then they changed it to late second quarter, and since we're well into the fourth quarter, we can expect to see it real soon now.
