ALT1: ... that 185 Montague Street in New York City was once called "one of the jazziest little Art Deco skyscrapers in town"? Source: Morrone, Francis. An Architectural Guidebook to Brooklyn. Gibbs Smith. p. 146
ALT2: ... that one critic likened the design of 185 Montague Street in New York City to the horns of Count Basie's orchestra? Source: Morrone, Francis. An Architectural Guidebook to Brooklyn. Gibbs Smith. p. 146
Overall: Good work overall. Of these hooks, I prefer ALT3 (the contrast of being nearly full in a high-vacancy area stands out) and ALT1 (the connection may be clearer with an explicit mention of Art Deco style).
Epicgenius, did you still want to propose additional hooks for consideration? Complex/Rational15:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)reply
