the pagoda, the
William Penn Memorial Fire Tower is also located on Mt. Penn and visible from most of Reading. After a coworker reported being able to climb to the top of the tower, Billie and I stopped there on the day we went to the pagoda but the tower was closed. We later discovered that it is only open on the third Saturday of every month. September 19 was clear and sunny, so we headed up to Mt. Penn to try again. This time, we were in luck. Here is the proof:
The tower, open for business.

The Reading Railroad! (If you've been pronouncing this like "reading a book" when you play Monopoly, you've been pronouncing it wrong.)
The stairway on the way down. You can see Billie looking up at me.

Albright College (you can see the football stadium in the middle of the picture). When we went to homecoming, we took a picture of the fire tower from the stadium.

I love all the posts and pictures. Brad and I are still trying to find places interesting enough to share.
ReplyDeleteI'll post pictures of just about anything, but there do seem to be a lot of things to see around here.
