Survey in works of N.C.-S.C. line

Survey in works of N.C.-S.C. line: "(By Jeffrey Collins, Associated Press) A team of surveyors 228 years ago trudged through the thick forests and underbrush about 50 yards from where Andy Kramer's living room now rests. Another team recently confirmed their ancestral colleagues' work, assuring that Kramer's family will have to keep crossing into South Carolina just to go to the pool.

Kramer's neighborhood is one of several in the Charlotte suburbs that straddle the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, an area which has spent the last 15 years being resurveyed and will likely be scrutinized for at least a decade more."
