The only thing at this location, ever, as far as I can determine, was what was last the "Herlong Junction" Cafe & Bar, which also had a few "hotel rooms" attached. GMaps and street view show that it was eventually boarded up and demolished, but you can see it pictured here. A bit north is a gas station which sells booze and has a very small subdivision around it. Other than that, it has next to no trace in GBooks: the only actual hits are GNIS versions and random juxtapositions. As best I can determine, this was just where you turned off the main road to go to Hurlong; at any rate, I'm finding no notability. Mangoe (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources like [1] [2] [3] and [4] that showing it was a clearly formerly inhabited place. This calls it a small community. Plenty of old newspaper clippings available to flesh the article out. SportingFlyer T·C 23:03, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources show that this is not merely a junction but an actual community. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
