Born and raised in Berks, I am fascinated by the design, architecture, culture & style of the 20th century. I started this website to research and build a collection of the places, things and stories I have heard about my entire life. Read more here.
Was that the Sherwood Diner as well? Thinking like late 70’s.
No, the Sherwood Diner was further north on Rte. 222, across the street from the Cherokee Ranch homes. It’s still there with a new facade and a new name.
Thank you for the clarification Mike!
No,the Belleview was where Sheets is today.
100% Correct
Wow, forgot about the Belleview. Remember is now.
It was on Rt 61 and Bellevue. It is now the Rt 61 Diner. The one on 222 was Dempsey’s across from Carole’s aka Burger King. Dempsey’s is now Sheetz.
I remember Carole’s well. I think that was just about the first fast food, hamburger, chain restaurant in the area. As a kid I always got two cheap hamburgers in mini serving bags and a shake. I think the burgers cost only 15 cents. My mom liked Kreska’s, which is now Temple Family Restaurant at Business 222 and Tuckerton.
[…] looked like just north of the city. A few of the notable structures are the Reading Fairgrounds, Bellevue Diner, and Gethsemane Cemetery. The Warren Street Bypass was also noticeably not extended past 5th street […]
Ah, the Bellevue Diner. I remember it well. Some great memories from that place.
