A place with less amenities than the slab
There are no amenities here. If one has wheels then one can go into Niland 3 miles west. Counting the gas station south end of town and Post Office there are only 4 tax producing businesses.

I've heard the gas station and Buckshot restaurant are for sale. Some diehard types summer here but without accessible water even they may move on.
