My family resided in Chestnut Hill and Reading. My grandfather was the Farrier and blacksmith for the Dixon estate. We lived in old Chestnut Hill stone houses dating back to the early 1800's. Mansions. The Reading branch owned Widow Finney's (circa 1600's).

From 1994 to 1998 just about every last family member had seen enough. Everyone left for Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, and so on...... About 65 family members left. We go back for the occasional funeral or nursing home visitation. We load up on Wawa, Amoroso's rolls, scrapple, Taylor Pork Roll, and of course......Tastykakes, then get the heck out.

Reading is like a non tropical Puerto Rico now.

I do like the Japanese house on the mountain...

Many years ago I looked into buying a company in Sharon. A very depressed area at the time. Heard it’s very nice now.
