Is Manzanar an existing community?

I know the town of Manzanar existed until around 1933, but I've seen no signs of an existing community of Manzanar in the area and I was just in the area a few weeks ago. Can anyone clarify? Or should the article be edited to show that it existed previously, but not now? -- Kingsfan011 (talk) 23:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If no one can provide verifiable citations of the claim that there is an existing community at Manzanar, this article should either be deleted or developed into one about the town of Manzanar and the ranchers and miners there. Perhaps it could also include information about the Owens Valley Paiute who were the first inhabitants of the area. -- Kingsfan011 (talk) 23:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the article to reflect that no community currently exists at Manzanar. -- Kingsfan011 (talk) 18:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
