> If you claim that some one punched you in the arm, they aren't going to just take your word

Again, if a woman gets her boob bopped or butt patted by a guy, how does the woman provide evidence? What you provide is an orange to my apple. A punch may result in an observable bruise which could be evidence whereas an unwanted pat on the arse will leave no mark. Or do you think the police will dust her butt for fingerprints?

It's possible, but appears it moved somewhat over time. Difficult to tell from the picture though. In fact, pretty much every store moved / changed name over the years. This is common with malls. The only one that remained steady for 49 years was Sears, which closed down in early 2019.

Hopefully, they hang in there. Helps that Boscov's and Ruby Tuesday are nearby driving traffic.

Been saying for years that Tower Health (name probably inspired by the clock tower on its Reading Hospital) operates like an aggressive for-profit.

In my view, buying all those other hospitals weren't for charity, but rather a play to dominate health care in the region. In some ways, it made sense, since regional health systems are increasingly common.

However, Tower Health was ill prepared for what it was trying to do. Have to wonder if some top-level executives knew it wouldn't work, but somehow profited from it. Something that should be looked into further, though would presume some already have.

Tower Health should pay some tax to municipalities and the school districts they have facilities in, which is quite a few, especially within Berks County where it's based.

I recently got summoned and also went back and forth with ejuror. I unexpectedly had an interview scheduled the same day and I emailed them back and forth a few times and they wouldn’t give in. I just ended up skipping it and expecting to be called in again but haven’t heard anything. I was really bummed because under any other circumstances I would’ve loved to go.
