X. Reading vu du Reading's Pagoda

Partager cet article

Quelques photos de Reading vu du Reading's Pagoda, permettant d'obtenir une vue panoramique sur toute la ville.

Quelques informations sur Reading, tirées de Wikipedia :

Overlooking the city on Mount Penn is Reading's symbol, a Japanese style pagoda visible from everywhere in town and referred to locally as "The Pagoda." It was built in 1908 as a hotel and restaurant, but was never used for that purpose. It remains a tourist attraction. Announced in late 2007 were plans to renovate the area surrounding The Pagoda. The vision is to include walking paths and, possibly, a new mountaintop restaurant. Duryea Drive, which ascends Mount Penn in a series of sharp bends, was a testing place for early automobiles and was named for Charles Duryea. The city lent its name to the now-defunct Reading Railroad, which brought anthracite coal from the Pennsylvania Coal Region to cities along the Schuylkill River.
