02:21 - Welcome to a look inside

02:51 - The borough has a very active

02:56 - tasteful restaurants and shops.
02:59 - So we invite you to come visit
03:01 - the Kutztown borough. The
03:03 - borough is not just a stop.
03:04 - It's an experience. Hi, my name
03:08 - is Saskia Foley and I'm the CEO
03:10 - and president of Radius
03:11 - Corporation.
03:12 - We're located in Kutztown,
03:13 - Pennsylvania and we make premium
03:16 - toothbrushes, travel cases,
03:17 - organic floss, and also organic
03:20 - toothpaste.
03:21 - We have been here since 1988 and
03:24 - have found Kutztown to be one of
03:25 - the most amazing little towns to
03:27 - be in because it's the perfect
03:29 - balance between rural and family
03:34 - and a little bit of university.
03:36 - And it's great for the people
03:37 - that we can attract to our
03:38 - company.
03:40 - You know being made in America
03:41 - company is really important for
03:42 - us and being made in Kutztown,
03:44 - Pennsylvania company is also
03:45 - incredibly important for us.
03:47 - In addition we have been growing
03:48 - so much over the years as a
03:51 - company. We started in 1982 and
03:53 - when we moved to Pennsylvania in
03:55 - 1988 we started to make our own
03:56 - products in-house on our own
03:58 - injection molding machines and
04:00 - bristling machines.
04:01 - So all of our toothbrushes are
04:02 - made on our own machines and as
04:04 - we've been growing so much we
04:05 - actually finally just moved this
04:07 - year from two to seven Railroad
04:09 - Street to 40 Willow Street which
04:10 - is in good style and we decided
04:12 - to stay because it's a great
04:13 - town to be in and work in.
04:15 - But it's just a few blocks down
04:17 - the road and we are actually
04:19 - restoring a almost 200 year old
04:22 - silk mill.
04:23 - It's a three point five million
04:25 - dollar project.
04:26 - We are partially moved down but
04:28 - we're really excited to move
04:29 - into the second phase which is a
04:30 - really gorgeous brick building
04:33 - and we're going to restore it
04:34 - back to its original landmark
04:35 - setting if you'd like to come
04:36 - visit us and Kutztown.
04:37 - You're always welcome.
04:39 - We're open Monday to Friday 9
04:41 - a.m. to 5 p.m..
04:43 - We also have a Web site.
04:44 - It's www.madebyradius.com. And
04:50 - we also have a phone number. If
04:51 - you want to give us a call we're
04:52 - always here.
04:53 - It's 610-683-9400.
04:57 - We look forward to seeing you
04:58 - soon.
04:59 - Hi. I'm Janet Yost and this is
05:01 - the Kutztown community library.
05:03 - We have books and DVDs but
05:05 - libraries are now so much more
05:07 - than that.
05:08 - We have story times for children
05:10 - and we have all sorts of
05:12 - interesting programs for adults.
05:14 - We have conversation.
05:16 - Con amigos which you get to
05:18 - practice Spanish.
05:19 - It's not classes, but you just
05:20 - get to practice Spanish and
05:22 - enjoy your time together with
05:23 - others.
05:24 - We also process passport
05:27 - applications here in the library
05:28 - which is a great boon for the
05:29 - community and it also adds
05:31 - funding for the library.
05:32 - The borough is a wonderful asset
05:34 - because they help us out with
05:37 - different programs.
05:38 - We wouldn't be where we are
05:39 - today if it wasn't for the
05:40 - borough.
05:41 - Another thing the library has
05:42 - are public access computers so
05:44 - that that way they can use a
05:47 - computer.
05:48 - They connect with the world
05:49 - through the Internet.
05:50 - They can apply for jobs and it's
05:52 - a great bonus and often they
05:54 - need help typing resumes so we
05:56 - step right in and give them some
05:57 - encouragement and show them how
05:59 - to use the computers.
06:00 - We invite you to come on down
06:01 - and visit the Kutztown community
06:03 - library or stop and visit our
06:04 - website at Kutztownlibrary.org.
06:07 - Hi, I'm Samara Stork marketing
06:09 - and business development manager
06:11 - for Sorrelli Jewelry a family
06:13 - owned and operated fashion
06:14 - jewelry company.
06:15 - So we are headquartered here in
06:18 - Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Sorrelli
06:20 - is a 35 year old company that
06:23 - was started by Lisa Oswald who
06:26 - is our founder.
06:27 - So our flagship store here in
06:29 - Kutztown is really kind of the
06:32 - showpiece of our brand.
06:35 - It really speaks to our brands
06:37 - aesthetic and really what
06:39 - Sorrelli is all about.
06:40 - We're vintage inspired. You'll
06:42 - see a lot of vintage touches
06:43 - throughout our store.
06:44 - We're really always amazed at
06:46 - how far some of our customers
06:48 - will travel to shop this store
06:50 - in particular versus visiting
06:52 - one of our retail partners or
06:54 - shopping online.
06:55 - This store has become a
06:56 - destination for the true
06:57 - Sorrelli collectors, which is
06:59 - something that we're very proud
07:00 - of.
07:00 - So all of our product is
07:02 - designed here in Kutztown,
07:03 - Pennsylvania, which is also a
07:04 - fact that we're very proud of.
07:07 - All of our product is
07:08 - handcrafted and comes with a
07:10 - lifetime guarantee.
07:11 - The goal of our product is for
07:13 - people to live a life layered
07:15 - and sparkle feel like everyday
07:18 - is a special occasion.
07:19 - And we stand behind our product
07:20 - so that you can enjoy our
07:23 - product for years to come.
07:25 - So can your grandchildren. It
07:27 - really is meant to be an
07:29 - heirloom.
07:30 - So we invite you to shop
07:31 - Sorrelli at our flagship store
07:33 - here in Kutztown. Can also shop
07:36 - our Allentown, Pennsylvania
07:37 - location or visit us online at
07:40 - Sorelli.com.
07:41 - Hey. I'm Keegan Linder.
07:43 - This is Boston interactive and
07:44 - we are a internet and graphic
07:47 - design company.
07:48 - We help companies launch new
07:50 - products generally electronics
07:52 - and this is our space.
07:54 - We've been in town for 20 years.
07:56 - If you believe that it started
07:58 - because the borough is strangely
08:00 - enough operating their own
08:02 - utilities and communications.
08:05 - So we've got home that which is
08:06 - high speed fiber optics and that
08:08 - was really the basis for this
08:10 - business.
08:11 - We needed connectivity and
08:13 - that's what we got.
08:13 - And Kutztown also we have
08:15 - Kutztown University, which I
08:17 - think is one of the coolest art
08:19 - colleges for a state school and
08:22 - we get almost all of our staff
08:23 - from them. I'm a Kutztown grad.
08:24 - Almost everybody around here is
08:25 - a Kutztown grad.
08:27 - The art program is awesome.
08:28 - We've stayed in Kutztown because
08:30 - the university like I said the
08:32 - students coming out of there are
08:33 - great, but also now we are in
08:36 - this great space.
08:37 - And I mean I feel like that is a
08:38 - huge perk. This building was the
08:41 - old shoe factory actually a
08:43 - leather factory, a wallet
08:44 - factory I understand. That's
08:46 - mostly why we stay here.
08:47 - It's a great space and the town
08:49 - in general has been really
08:50 - supportive.
08:50 - It's all around good place to
08:51 - work, great place to raise the
08:53 - kids.
08:54 - The schools are great down here.
08:55 - All of our clients are all over
08:57 - the map.
08:58 - I mean we're all over the place
09:00 - and none of them are here, which
09:03 - I think is awesome actually
09:04 - because we get to be outside of
09:07 - all of that all of the cities
09:09 - all of our clients kind of
09:10 - hubbub and we are in this little
09:12 - charming town, which they all
09:13 - think is kind of hilarious and
09:14 - charming, but it's a good thing
09:16 - for us.
09:16 - We are the Pennsylvania people
09:18 - and I think they secretly like
09:20 - that we are not part of the big
09:23 - city world yet we work within
09:25 - it.
09:27 - Hi, I'm Sandy Green Community
09:28 - Liaison and government relations
09:30 - assistant for Kutztown

09:42 - nonprofit organization dedicated
09:44 - to the revitalization and
09:45 - preservation of our downtown.
09:47 - Kutztown community partnership
09:49 - focuses on four major events
09:50 - held in our town.

10:07 - We focus on the economic
10:08 - vitality of our businesses as
10:10 - well as our housing here in our
10:12 - town.
10:13 - We are fortunate to have a group
10:14 - of volunteers help us with all
10:15 - of our events and be a part of
10:17 - all the committees that we have
10:19 - with KCP.

12:57 - Hi, my name is Brendan Strasser
12:58 - and I'm the librarian here at
13:00 - the Kutztown Area Historical
13:01 - Society.
13:03 - We're in the 1892 public school
13:04 - building, which was the
13:07 - elementary junior high and high
13:08 - school for the borough for quite
13:10 - a number of years.
13:11 - We purchased it two years later
13:13 - in 1979 and made it our
13:15 - headquarters.
13:16 - The building was placed on the
13:17 - National Register of Historic
13:19 - Places in 1980 and we've been
13:21 - refurbishing and remodeling the
13:23 - building to bring it back to
13:24 - 1892 standards.
13:26 - Ever since then we have eight
13:28 - classrooms with historical
13:30 - displays we have a library and
13:32 - genealogical research area.
13:34 - We have a large crane display in
13:36 - the basement, which brings out a
13:38 - lot of visitors every holiday
13:39 - season.
13:40 - The society has currently close
13:42 - to 500 members.
13:43 - We do monthly programs.
13:45 - I think we're fortunate to have
13:46 - a very active historical legacy
13:51 - here in Kutztown.
13:52 - I think it's safe to say that
13:53 - that Keith Haring is Kutztown's
13:55 - most famous citizen.
13:57 - Keith grew up in the building
13:58 - right next door to the
13:59 - historical society and attended
14:01 - school here.
14:02 - He graduated Kutztown area High
14:04 - School in 1976.
14:06 - He moved to New York and
14:07 - enrolled at the School of Visual
14:08 - ward.
14:09 - In 1978. Met Andy Warhol a few
14:12 - years later.
14:13 - Some of the other artists
14:14 - working in New York at that time
14:17 - in about 1981, 82 Keith was
14:21 - looking for studio space and he
14:23 - contacted the historical society
14:25 - here, which had been newly
14:26 - organized and we're still in the
14:28 - process of renovating the
14:30 - building.
14:30 - He wanted to use our basement as
14:32 - a studio space when he came home
14:34 - one summer.
14:36 - Around that same time he started
14:37 - doing his subway drawings the
14:40 - kind of trademark chalk drawings
14:41 - in the New York City subways and
14:43 - very quickly he found himself
14:45 - getting arrested and cited and
14:47 - Dan Rather put him on the CBS
14:49 - Evening News one night and
14:50 - before you knew what Keith
14:51 - Haring was a household name
14:53 - around the country.
14:54 - So Keith never did make it back.
14:56 - To Kutztown to rent our basement
14:57 - as a studio.
14:58 - But as a thank you.
15:00 - When he came home in
15:01 - Thanksgiving of 1982 to visit
15:03 - his parents next door he came
15:05 - over to our building and drew
15:06 - some of his trademark drawings
15:08 - on the chalkboard that are in
15:10 - our main meeting room.
15:12 - And so they're signed and dated
15:14 - K. herring Thanksgiving 1982.
15:18 - There's also a statue in the
15:19 - Kutztown park that was installed
15:22 - in the early 1990s as a
15:24 - permanent gift to the borough of
15:25 - Kutztown.
15:26 - Keith passed away in 1990 at the
15:29 - age of 31.
15:30 - A few years before that he had
15:32 - done a limited edition
15:33 - sculpture.
15:35 - Many people called it a boy and
15:36 - his dog.
15:37 - Technically its Untitled but
15:39 - it's one of three identical
15:41 - sculptures.
15:43 - There had been an installation
15:44 - of Keith's work along one of the
15:46 - major thoroughfares in Manhattan
15:48 - and after that installation was
15:50 - taken down one of those
15:51 - sculptures came over to the
15:54 - borough.
15:55 - You keep hearing foundation
15:56 - essentially wanted to gift one
15:58 - of the sculptures to the borough
16:00 - as a kind of permanent memorial
16:02 - to the legacy of Keith so it was
16:04 - installed in a very highly
16:06 - visible point at the top of the
16:07 - hillside in Kutztown park in the
16:09 - early 1990s.
16:11 - So if you're interested in
16:12 - learning more about the history
16:13 - of Kutztown you can check our

16:19 - Hi, I'm Jim Schlegel, mayor of
16:20 - Kutztown.
16:21 - We're staying in here today in
16:23 - the crown jewel of the borough
16:24 - of Kutztown.
16:25 - This is located in the Kutztown
16:27 - Park.
16:27 - The band show has been here
16:29 - since 1914.
16:31 - There have been many, many
16:32 - events here over the years.
16:34 - We currently have a concert
16:36 - series that has about 10
16:37 - different concerts throughout
16:38 - the summer here.
16:39 - They are always well attended.
16:40 - Because South Park is a great
16:42 - place to be.
16:43 - It's been called the cool spot.
16:45 - It consists of 44 acres.
16:47 - We have a great sandbox and we
16:50 - have one of Keith's statues
16:51 - here.
16:53 - Back in the early days this was
16:54 - an amusement park and it did
16:55 - become part of the borough until
16:57 - 1935.
16:58 - One of the great things we have
16:59 - here is our playground.
17:01 - It's so wonderful.
17:03 - The children love it.
17:04 - For more information visit our
17:06 - park and recreation page or the
17:08 - borough website.
17:09 - Hi, my name's Joanne Lapic and
17:12 - I'm talking from Paisley and
17:15 - company, which is a bath
17:16 - boutique and fragrance bar.
17:18 - We're located here on Main
17:19 - Street in Kutztown and we have
17:22 - been here for 15 years at
17:24 - Paisley and company.
17:25 - We make all kinds of products
17:28 - for Bath, Body, and home that
17:30 - can range from soy products like
17:33 - candles and wax tarts all the
17:36 - way to exfoliating scrubs,
17:41 - facial masks, coats, smells,
17:42 - washes, just about anything that
17:45 - you could use in your home or on
17:46 - your body.
17:47 - We were the first independent
17:49 - Bath and Body store in Berks
17:51 - County.
17:52 - Since then there's been quite a
17:53 - few that have sprung up, but we
17:55 - were the oldest and the original
17:57 - one.
17:58 - Some of our products have been
18:00 - made here since the very first
18:02 - day. Some of them are new.
18:03 - We're constantly developing new
18:05 - products, doing research and
18:06 - development and testing them on
18:09 - our customers and clients and
18:10 - friends and they give us pretty
18:12 - honest feedback so we always
18:13 - know what we want to carry the
18:15 - story that we're in is really
18:17 - interesting because half of it
18:20 - is was actually a millinery shop
18:22 - in the 1980s they made hats and
18:25 - then it became a bootmaker and
18:26 - hatmaker shop.
18:27 - So it's a beautiful building.
18:29 - It had the original tin ceiling,
18:32 - has some really interesting
18:35 - stained and leaded glass.
18:38 - Now in the past few months what
18:39 - we've done is we've accessed the
18:41 - building next to us, broken a
18:43 - wall through, and tripled the
18:45 - size of our store.
18:46 - We have plenty of space in here
18:50 - for people to walk around. We've
18:51 - got a little dedicated Kids
18:53 - Corner.
18:53 - We're really enjoying our new
18:54 - digs here.
18:56 - The reason we chose Kutztown, as
18:59 - a place to do business is
19:01 - primarily because I'm familiar
19:03 - with it and I love this town.
19:05 - It's got a friendly vibe but at
19:08 - the same time it's homey and
19:11 - folksy at the same time.
19:13 - It's a university town so we
19:14 - have access to everything you
19:16 - could want.
19:17 - Fabulous place to live.
19:18 - Good place to do business.
19:20 - Really enjoying being here.
19:22 - If you're in Kutztown please
19:23 - stop by and see us.
19:24 - Our staff are friendly.
19:26 - We'd love to help you make a
19:27 - custom fragrance or design
19:29 - something for a special event
19:30 - for you.
19:32 - We are located on Main Street at
19:33 - 275 to 277.
19:36 - Right at the intersection of
19:37 - White Oak and Main Street.
19:39 - About 1 block and a half from
19:41 - the university.
19:42 - And if you can't make it into
19:44 - town we would love to ship you
19:46 - something. You can visit us on
19:47 - our website.
19:49 - It's Paisleyandcompany.com.
19:51 - Thanks very much.
19:53 - I'm Matt Santos, vice president
19:55 - for university relations and
19:57 - athletics here at Kutztown
19:59 - University and we're here on our
20:01 - beautiful campus, which is one
20:03 - of the 14 campuses that make up
20:06 - the state system of higher
20:07 - education.
20:08 - Our beautiful campus was
20:10 - established here in 1866 the
20:14 - early days of Kutztown
20:15 - University.
20:16 - We were primarily a teacher's
20:18 - normal school.
20:19 - Today we boast four different
20:21 - colleges Visual and Performing
20:23 - Arts Liberal Arts and Sciences.
20:26 - The College of Business and the
20:28 - original College of Education.
20:30 - So the university itself boasts
20:33 - about 8300 students.
20:35 - It is the fifth largest school
20:37 - in the state system of higher
20:38 - education.
20:39 - Our campus as I said is in my
20:41 - opinion is the most attractive
20:43 - in the state system.
20:45 - It's one of the great
20:45 - attractions of Kutztown
20:47 - University is the fact that we
20:48 - are so close to the borough of
20:50 - Kutztown. We're right on the
20:51 - edge on the the top of the hill.
20:54 - The borough itself offers a lot
20:56 - for students in terms of
20:58 - restaurants in particular and a
21:01 - variety of eating options, a
21:03 - movie theater.
21:04 - The relationship has been strong
21:09 - in particular in the last couple
21:10 - of years it's been stronger than
21:12 - ever as we've developed more of
21:14 - a town gown relationship with
21:17 - the borough and we're really,
21:20 - really happy to have that as a
21:22 - resource and I think it also
21:25 - works the other way around the
21:27 - university, offers quite a bit
21:29 - to the community.
21:30 - The great thing about Kutztown
21:31 - University is that those who
21:34 - choose to come here from close
21:35 - by really get a worldly
21:37 - experience because you come here
21:38 - and you meet people from all
21:40 - over the world.
21:40 - So if you find yourself in
21:43 - Kutztown I encourage you to
21:45 - visit our campus.
21:46 - You won't be disappointed.
21:48 - You can also find out more
21:50 - information on our Web site at

21:55 - If you're not close to Kutztown,
21:56 - but you're looking for an
21:58 - affordable but quality valuable
22:03 - education this is also a great
22:05 - place to look because you won't
22:07 - find a better education for the
22:09 - price than you will at Kutztown
22:10 - University or the state system

22:13 - matter.
