Video clip from Reading 1974: Portrait of a city", (Adlestein, Mantis, Orr)

The original film is actually on KZbin! It has some neat clips and unfortunately some of the darker side of the area as Roy Frankhouser Jr and the klan make an appearance, he is a rabbit hole all on its own and honestly you can get some great video ideas from that. The fairgrounds race track, the 1974 fair, and many others are in it also honestly baseball in Reading could be a whole long video of its own and the many industries and factories of the area!

I'd love see more of the city before it was torn away. Do you have more of these videos?

Empire Wrecking made out pretty well in that era.

Love your videos

Also, most if not all of this footage is from the local film "Reading 1974: Portrait of a city", (Adlestein, Mantis, Orr). The back ground music has been changed, (for the worse). As "Berks Nostalgia" you will likely find the original film very interesting.

Sorry for the late reply, I looked into it but it seems like its pretty hard to get ahold of!
