South Crowder's Creek. "Those customers were in a very unique position," she said. "They are served through an exchange physically located in another state, which is not that unusual. But they | The Latest Style @DULT & YOUTH ALL COLLEGE T-SHIRTS * Sweatshirts * Sweatpants were also the only exchange along the state's border that had one-way EAS to exchanges in its local call- ing area.” Massey said some of the 102 South Crowder's Creek subscribers wanted to be transferred to the Gastonia exchange, while others wanted to continue being served from Clover.
