Description

The United States prides itself on a kind of rugged individualism. We like to think we do things our own way here.


So while the rest of the world uses the metric system, here in America, we use a system based on inches, feet, yards and miles.


Except on a particular stretch of Louisville highway. Lots of you asked us why. On this episode, WFPL's Ashlie Stevens finds out.
