WEST READING, Pa. \u2013 During a night out in West Reading, a mother and daughter were making the most of a warm April evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy that the weather has broke and we\u2019re all able to get outside, be amongst one another, and just talk and have a good time,\u201d said Nyesha Brownlee, a Penn State Berks student.<\/p>\n
They made the trip from Harrisburg for College Night, walking from place to place, trying food and enjoying the West Reading energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey give you a voucher and you can go to Let\u2019s Taco Bout It, the Winnie (Tea) Bar, Chef David. I went to a couple of places just to try the food out, and it has been really good,\u201d Brownlee said.<\/p>\n
And her daughter already has a few favorites.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really love Let\u2019s Taco Bout It, but Winnie\u2019s mochi is really good. I really enjoyed this,\u201d said Ariana Brownlee.<\/p>\n
That same energy was felt all along Penn Avenue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt definitely provides a nice boost in sales\u2026When the weather starts changing, it not only brightens the mood, but makes people want to go outside, and enjoy the businesses,\u201d said Alex Alfaro of West Brew Izakaya.<\/p>\n
Across Berks County, it was the same story. At Plum Creek, in Penn Township, families lining up for ice cream.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s awesome to see so many people coming out and just enjoying a family-friendly atmosphere,\u201d said Kiara Weaver of Plum Creek.<\/p>\n
Everyone was taking full advantage of the heat, with softball in Bern Township.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re wearing sweatshirts, and today, most of the guys and gals are wearing shorts and sleeveless shirts. So it\u2019s a good hot summer day for a game of ball,\u201d said Sean Moretti.<\/p>\n
And at Blue Marsh Lake, boaters got an early start to the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking forward to getting out here. It\u2019s a nice day. It\u2019s not real windy, not choppy. It\u2019s very nice,\u201d said Gary Robinson of Quakertown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST READING, Pa. \u2013 During a night out in West Reading, a mother and daughter were making the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,75761,128,130,129,71448,707],"class_list":{"0":"post-168235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reading","8":"tag-berks-county","9":"tag-college-night","10":"tag-reading-city","11":"tag-reading-city-headlines","12":"tag-reading-city-news","13":"tag-warm-weather","14":"tag-west-reading"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
