PHILLY SHOW....trial trip to Reading Expo Ctr.

Yesterday was a nice driving day, so I took a trip to the future site of the Philly Show
in Reading, PA.

The Greater Reading Expo Center is a huge facility (much larger and more modern than
the Ft. Washington Expo Ctr.); and, it has an expansive parking area.

Reading is set in a beautiful scenic area of Pennsylvania surrounded by mountains and this
facility is within a short distance of the Reading Phillies (AA) Stadium.
There is also all the usual lodging places within a short distance of this facility.

We live along the Delaware River near where Washington's famous Crossing occured in 1776.
It took me 2 hrs. to get to Reading, taking back country roads. However, if you are starting
from Philadelphia, it is easy as you get on the PA Pike (I-76) and take it to I-176....which
gets you into Reading.

I am really looking forward to the PHILLY SHOW and I hope I see you all there......Dec 1 - 3, 2006.

INCIDENTLY, I filled up my gas tank in Reading for only $2.49/gallon.....can anyone beat that price ?
