Name Change
We have been inspired to change our blog site name. The inspiration came from a Rocky Mountain News article written by James Paton on September 15, 2007. If you read the article you will see that 5280 Magazine is beginning to sue companies using 5280 in their name. They say they don’t want to be “jerks” but that before their magazine no one knew that there was 5280 feet in a mile or associated 5280 with Denver. So in my attempt to follow in the footsteps of 5280 Magazine’s education of the Colorado public I am going to change the name to www.1760mortgageguide.com. 1760 is how many yards are in a mile. Thank God for this website or none of us in Colorado would know that.
Does anyone know how many inches are in a mile?
63,360
You are correct! I am sure you knew that there was 5280 feet in a mile BEFORE the magazine told you.
