Why is it called Nine Mile?
The town is called Nine Mile because it is approximately 1 mile from another town called Eight Mile.The other town which is called Seven Mile is also 1 mile from Eight Mile, so at the Nine Mile marker the town is called Nine Mile....This has nothing to do in referrence to Eminem's movie titled Eight Mile.
