Denver's Mile High Marker Moved

Tuesday September 30, 2003
The 1909 plaque on the steps of Colorado's state capitol, which marked the 5280 foot elevation, was moved three feet recently. The move was due to better surveying to calculate the exact mile-high point to reinforce Denver's reputation as the Mile High City. More from Yahoo News.
