In the 1960s, North 13th Street was noted in a Ripley's Believe it or Not article for being the only place in the United States where one can go from kindergarten to elementary school, junior high to high school, and then to college without ever leaving the same street. In recognition of this educational phenomenon, Albright College and the Reading School District announced the 13th Street Gang Scholarship, a scholarship worth up to $15,000 per year or $60,000 over four years. All freshmen applicants are eligible for consideration if they have graduated from Reading High School, Northeast Middle School and 13th & Green and/or 13th & Union Elementary Schools.
