Another case of not reading the source/maps well. Delaware Place Names calls this a "locality"; the topos ratify this in spades, showing first of all an unlabelled crossroads with nothing about, and then a cloverleaf surrounded by industrial/commercial business on three quadrants, the fourth being occupied by Wilmington Airport. No evidence that anyone ever thought of this as a separate settlement. Mangoe (talk) 04:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - newspapers.com results refer to this overwhelmingly as a road junction, pretty much everything is about road work. Agree with nominator, this doesn't seem to have ever been a community. Hog Farm _Talk 05:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
