I agree. I have been to Johnstown. That place is a mess. The whole city is crumbling into dust. Even large sections of Pittsburgh are pretty rough-looking, in terms of the built environment falling apart and being bulldozed away. Reading actually has a more pleasant built environment than Pittsburgh, in my opinion, and not all of that is due to the East Coast architecture. It's just in solid condition, which is inspiring, considering where the city's economy is at!
I was in Center City Philly the next day, and took some pictures. The architecture in Center City is very similar to what's in Reading!
