Town Creek A Little Big Town With Big Prospects
Town Creek with 810 residents in 1960 spans one square mile yet hosts cafes, drug stores, hardware, a post office, and a factory. Mayor Paul Houston says locals like it, while development aims to grow factory employment from 175 to 400 as G C Gin Gerie Co expands. The piece features town leaders, the Southern Railway agent, police, a high school band, and civic staff in photos.
