I was an elementary teacher and during the early part of the Reagan Administration there was a big push for a conversion to the metric system. People from the District level would come through speaking meters and such. It was weird.
BTW, only three countries – the U.S., Liberia and Myanmar use the Imperial measurement system.
I grew up in Ohio and remember hearing about Detroit Dragway closing. Sad to see another track go away.
