The Burbank Arena skating rink and the Bear Hill condos are built on top of decommissioned missile silos. Reading was an early and active participant in Boston's METCO program, which brought African-American and inner-city students from Boston to attend grades K-12. Reading's participation in the program continued without incident, even when other suburban communities started turning their backs on Boston's black student population and dropping out of the program. Reading is home to the Burbank Ice Area where, in July 2000, youth hockey dad Tom Junta engaged in a fight with a Lynnfield hockey dad, Michael Costin, over his son's stick practice, resulting in Costin's death. On January 11, 2002, Junta was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. African American Basketball player Bill Russell lived in Reading in the 1960s next to a gas station on Main Street, but later moved a more upperclass part of town. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
