• To be honest, I might want to try my hand writing hooks for this after work today. There's a lot more obscure secrets and wacky events that have taken place more than what's included here. ɱ (talk) 16:03, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Substantial GA article(s), on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. I approve ALT1 (original is boring, ALT2 trivia), but why is this without an image? I am quite open for more interesting hooks, go ahead. And go for FA, please. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:58, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

@ Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. Here is an image: File:Image-Grand central Station Outside Night 2.jpg It is a featured image on Wikimedia Commons and used on the article, so it should be fine, but could you check this as well? Thanks. epicgenius ( talk) 18:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

the image is licensed, and high quality and shows well. Only: it's not from the period of building the hook talks about. No problem, just a historic one might be even more suitable. - Can I interest you in the peer review of Clara Schumann? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:28, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt thanks. I'll check when I have time. epicgenius ( talk) 18:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
