"I'll be surprised if they even score once," an Arlington fan in the audience was overheard saying in reference to the Rockets.

Following the morning's dedication of the Kevin McCarthy, 9/11 Memorial at Reading Memorial High School, town, state and federal leaders gathered on Town Common for a ceremony noting the day and its decade-old history.

This weekend's Reading Fall Street Faire featured a spectrum of entertainment—from classical music to rock music to live dance routines. The above photos showcase just a small sample of those performances.

This year's Reading Fall Street Faire featured more entertainment for children than last year's event. One of Reading Patch's favorite photographers turned his lens toward the now more kid-friendly action and captured the above images.

One of the many highlights from the street fair were the antique cars on display. Check out some old-school hot rods, muscle cars and roadsters in today's gallery. Our photographer, while an admirer of cars, is not well versed in the classic car scene.

Leslie Leahy, owner of The Hitching Post, and her friend Denise Eaton submitted the above photos of the fair.

August 31st marked the first day of school for Reading Public Schools. We headed down to Birch Meadow Elementary School to get some shots of the nervous but excited students, and the parents who could hardly contain their enthusiasm that it is, finally, back to school time. 

The Reading Public School Committee welcomed more than 30 new teachers and administrators to the district's roster Monday night. Committee Chairman Charles Robinson said that this occasion is one of his favorites each year—rivalling the joy that he gets out of graduation day. The above photos include most of the staff who began work in Reading's schools this week.

A sudden thunderstorm ripped across Reading last night, sending lightning bolts and tree limbs to the ground. Areas across town saw flash flooding that mostly dispersed as quickly as it appeared, but some businesses on Lower Haven struggled with rain water that crept into their space. The storm also knocked out power in some parts of town. One reader reported that her neighborhood near the intersection of Summer Avenue and Hopkins Street lost electricity for three hours. If you'd like to add your own images of the storm to our gallery, click "add your photos and videos."

Demolition work had not yet begun on Thursday morning, and the weather may hold back the real work until the skies clear, but workers are ready to tear down the old Atlantic Supermarket. A crew erected fences around the building Wednesday and pulled some material off the roof. Construction equipment stands ready, but workers at the scene said they're awaiting the arrival of a large shovel before taking on the building's structure.
