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.

Reading Allergy is a common phenomenon. This is not associated with Dyslexia.
Someone has Reading Allergy when they refuse to read, lacks the energy to, pulls fast conclusions, reads little & bases their opinion on lack of research, or refuses to read a post that says ''please read the entirely before commenting.'' Sometimes they even make things up that completely deviate from the writing, and ignore the OP's specifications.
Examples;
1.
''Wasn't this person involved in some kind of controversy?''
Comment thread; ''Oh no! That was resolved. provides info''
Reading Allergic: ''Oh my god. They are such a curse word person! I didn't know.''
''Did you read the discussion just now?''
2.
''Hi! I'm looking for commissions in this kind of specific art style, my maximum budget is low budget. Please do not send me direct messages! I'll block you if you don't read my post.''
The Reading Allergic person; ''Hi this is my art example, very different art style than requested prices start from above OP's budget I send you a direct message.''
3.
''My sister's kids are great, I don't mind spending time with them.''
Single parent: Hey, would you mind picking up my kids at 10pm?
''What for?''
Single parent: What? To babysit them of course.

''My mom has reading allergy, he somehow thinks that all things I write are about him.''
''Do all these people commenting on my posts have reading allergy? Why else would they pull such diverted conclusions?''
''So I was looking for commissions, and once again about ten people with reading allergy commented, completely ignoring my specific questions.''
''I'm starting to think some people naturally can't read or take stuff in proper context, it's like they have a reading allergy for common sense.''
''My teacher seems to forget certain notes I made about my problem. Do you think she's allergic to reading?''
