Reading, PA – The Pagoda
My friend Rob took me on a whirlwind tour of all the places he’s lived. This meant visits to York, Reading, and Mechanicsburg, PA. Not exactly places with great sightseeing, but he had told me about the pagoda on the mountain overlooking Reading. So we checked it out.
The view of the city was nice, though it was an overcast day. And it was cold and windy. And there were loud, annoying kids running around. If I ever get back to Reading and the weather is nicer, I will have to check it out again.
The Pagoda sits on Mount Penn, and the road leading up to it has a series of sharp turns. Early automobiles were tested there by Charles Duryea. We just had to deal with the aforementioned annoying kids, who hogged the road with their bikes on the way back down.
