WEST READING, PENNSYLVANIA, USA

1/06/14

Hi Everyone. Our trip today is taking us to eastern Pennsylvania to
West Reading. I have a friend that lives there, so I thought we
would explore her town.

West Reading is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The population was 4,212 at the 2010 census. The borough was settled
in 1873 and incorporated on March 18, 1907. It celebrated its 100th
anniversary in 2007.

West Reading contains a vibrant main street (Penn Avenue) of locally-owned
boutiques, restaurants and shops, in addition to, the main campus of
the Reading Health System (formerly The Reading Hospital and Medical
Center). It is also the site of the VF Outlet Village, one of the
largest outlet centers in the United States. The VF Outlet Village is
located in the buildings of the former Berkshire Knitting Mills, which
was in operation from 1908-1975.

January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
21 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit. July is normally the warmest month with
average temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees F. May tends to be
the rainiest month with an average of 4.5 inches, and a yearly average
of 44.8 inches of rain. February tends to be the snowiest month with
an average of 9 inches, and a yearly average of 29.7 inches of snow.
It's elevation is 285 feet above sea level.

I hope you enjoy this trip to West Reading, Pennsylvania.
