Oley please help

Hello, Berks community. On Saturday, August 15 at around 8:00 AM, I was run off the road while riding my Vespa by a man driving a red pickup truck. He appeared to be in his mid-60s, was white, and was wearing thick-rimmed glasses.
Unfortunately, I broke my leg in two places as a result of the crash.
This is my second post about the incident, and I just want to clear up a few things after getting some ridiculous questions on the first one: Yes, I have a motorcycle license. Yes, the Vespa was registered and insured. Everything was completely legal.
I’m posting because I’m hoping someone may have seen the truck or witnessed what happened. If you could please repost and share this, I would really appreciate it. The more people who see it, the better chance we have of finding someone who knows something.
Thank you, everyone.

looking for custom replacement doos

I have a historic home and desperately need to replace the French doors that lead to the patio before winter (they're crazy drafty, single pane windows, terrible). I've called Deluxe Windows and Doors and they can't work on our project because of the nature of the doors and since it's an old house. Anyone have experience with other folks in the area, general contractors or custom builders? The doors cannot be just off the rack, as they're taller and wider than standard.

DONNA SCHEUREN CHOSE GUNS OVER PUBLIC SAFETY, AGAIN!

She voted AGAINST HB 1018, which would allow families or police to ask a judge to temporarily remove firearms from someone proven to be a serious danger to themselves or others.

A court order. Evidence. A hearing. A temporary restriction.

Donna still voted no.

In 2023 alone, more than 1,000 Pennsylvanians died by firearm suicide. Another 119 people lost their lives to domestic violence—and 77% were killed with a firearm. Tens of thousands more victims and children live with the fear and trauma of abuse every year.

When the warning signs are there and lives are at risk, Donna’s answer is apparently: protect access to the gun.

Because Donna loves guns—even when the human cost is staring her in the face.
Read HB 1018 https://www.palegis.us/legislation/bills/2023/hb1018

Deka batteries reading pa

Hello,
I recently received a job offer from DEKA Batteries, and I’m very excited about the opportunity. Before I move forward, I wanted to ask about the pre-employment drug screening.
Could you please let me know what substances are included in the drug test, specifically whether marijuana/THC is tested for?

Where can I park for an overnight hike in Hamburg?

I'd like to overnight hike, but don't know where to park. I always get a ticket at the reservoir, plus they don't allow / want overnight parking there.

Is there a place near a trail?

Thanks for your help.

Tony’s of West Reading

Did Tony call in a shill because JD’s is getting too much attention for his ego? Also, has anyone ever gotten a hoagie that looks like this from Tony’s? We should bring this picture in and ask for our hoagie to look just like Ryan’s?

The lofts in West reading and Metropolitan Management questions

Roommates and I are leaving our current place by the end of the year so we need to find somewhere quick around the West reading/wyomissing area. There's 3 people total, and two cats. The one that *seems* nice is the lofts but I am now finding out about the horrible company that runs it.

The reviews are months to years old so my biggest question is for those that currently live there or have within this year, how bad is it currently? We already have a tour scheduled for next Friday so ideas for important questions would be appreciated as well.

I know about shitty neighbors and them bringing pests but want to know if that is still an issue or likely to experience, poor response times to repair issues, and 0 chance of getting security deposit back.

We just need a decent place to stay for 2 to 3 years, and haven't looked for an apartment in many years so figuring this out is a bit rough and therefore any and all help and discussions are wanted.

Where to get fresh local produce?

Ideally somewhere that isn’t a farmers market… I know Weavers on 10 is decent but I’m sure there are others I’m unaware of! Thank you!

Propane

In the wyomissing area, any recommendations on where I can fill my propane tanks, I have been using U-Haul on Lancaster ave and it’s never been a problem before but the last two times they’ve been so short on staff I e had to wait 40 minutes while they deal with the line of people picking up trucks.

🚨 PENNYCUICK AND SCHEUREN: SHOW US THE PROOF.

They are running an ad claiming Chris Thomas’s “real bosses are data-center developers.”

But Gilmore & Associates identifies itself as an engineering and municipal-consulting firm—not a data-center developer. Thomas apparently disclosed consulting work for Gilmore, but that does not prove he worked on data centers or profited from their development.

So, show us:

➡️ What data centers has Gilmore developed?
➡️ What data-center work did Thomas perform?
➡️ Which “Gilmore bosses” funded his campaign—and how much did they contribute?

This looks like the same fearmongering and gaslighting we have seen before. They made the accusation. Now produce the receipts.

Campaign promises fade. THE RECORD IS PERMANENT.
