You are doing great work to preserve the conscience and history of Berks County. I put your name right up with the the likes of the Meiser's. Berks history is rich and it's folks like you that keep it alive!

[@BerksNostalgia]

Wow, you have no idea what your words mean to me. Thank you so much.

[@mountpennart]

[@BerksNostalgia]

Creating it feeds mine. So win win! 😅

I moved out of Reading almost 30 years back. I lived a few blocks from center park before I moved so this brings back a lot of memories. Thank you!

Nice work. Drone is an exceptional idea to see some of the higher level architecture

You should have included Stirling Guest Hotel in my opinion that mansion is the best on Center Avenue it's located right across from Charles Evan's Cemetery. Of course I am a bit biased about that house. I was Gertrude Sternberghs private nurse for the last 5yrs of her life Aug 1991 until Jan 1996 . I got to know every inch of that mansion. Gertrude Sternberghs Stirling's was a private residence from the time in 1899 when she was born until March 25 1998 when her niece sold it Kie Stow who owned the Lantern lodge in Lebanon. Gertrude passed away in the house Jan 1996. Gertrude Sternbergh loved her home and would have very large classical music concerts in her home always giving back to the Reading Music foundation of which she helped start. Gertrude Sternbergh was a pillar of her community and a amazing musician in her own right. CLASSIC pianists John Browning n Andre Watts were two of the greats that I had the pleasure to meet. Gertrude Sternbergh was the life of her beautiful home. The day she died the soul n heart of her mansion left too. Unfortunately Stirling has lost it's appeal for me. The current owner has opened it too the homeless for meals on occasion. It's a nice gesture but I don't understand the mans thinking.The beauty of that place would only make a homeless person jealous of its grandeur . N serve to amplify their situation by 10. No that mansion should show case the beauty of life n serve the community in the manor in which Gertrude thought it should. The Mansion was made possible by Gertrude's father. He revolutionized the makings of nuts n bolts. He started out poor n made himself wealthy with his amazing brain. J.H.Sternbergh was truly a great story of rags to riches ..

The Stirling will get its own video. Stay tuned

Great video, perhaps a video or two on the statues and historic individuals buried in Berks county, for instance I recently learned that Joe Foy of Band of Brothers is buried in Berks county.

Love the channel and content. I hate to have to bring it up, but only trying to help. If you're not aware already, google "who needs a 107 license" in regard to using a drone in support of a business (as in this case).

[@BerksNostalgia]

Don't hate to bring it up! Everyone flying should be aware of the FAA's regulations when it comes to monetizing drone work. Yes, I know I need a commercial license to make money with my footage ☺️

[@BerksNostalgia]

Lucky you! It's a wonderful part of the city
