Yeah, I grew up in that part of Ohio and remember seeing those signs when I was a young man back in the seventies.
I'm sure we got those signs as part of our expected metrication under Jimmy Carter. The signs just haven't needed to be replaced yet and no one is up in arms about the metric distance being included for such a small number of signs. Sadly, those remnants and vestiges of our aborted metrication project will likely soon disappear. :-( -- Ezra ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Frysinger" <j...@metricmethods.com> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <usma@colostate.edu> Sent: Sunday, October 2, 2011 4:30:06 PM Subject: [USMA:51186] Highway sign with dual units Seen today on I-75 southbound in NW Ohio: Bowling Green 10 miles 16 kilometers -- James R.
