Can't speak for Chester, but Reading is turning into a shooting alley. Just check the local emergency responders Facebook page.

It's becoming the cheap stop for drugs and gangs moving product between New York and Philly.

It’s been the place to go for cheap drugs for at least 20 years now.

I live in Laureldale which is apart of Reading. Will I get shot here?

No. I live in Muhlenburg. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. 2000/2001 was the worst. So bad they allowed other jurisdictions to cross over.
