Hi JJonahJackalope, review follows: article more than 5x expanded on 6 August; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I can't access all of the sources but I found no issues with overly close paraphrasing in a random spotcheck; hooks are interesting enough for me, preference for ALT0 as is more about the arcade; I can verify ALT0, happy to AGF on ALT1; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes

Site prior to the arcade

Should it be "Dougherties" or "Doughertys"?
- Changed to "Doughertys".
That same decade, the three-story Concert Hall Building, which served as barracks and a prison during the American Civil War. This is an incomplete sentence missing a subject.
- Fixed incomplete sentence.
On the National Hotel... I agree with the 1902 date, having looked this up. An "old National Hotel building" is mentioned as being destroyed in a major fire that struck downtown Atlanta on December 9, 1902, having become the Snook & Austin furniture building at that time. See paragraph 4 of this clipping^[1] or the second linked page in this one:^[2]
In 1901, a viaduct was constructed for Peachtree Street over the railroad tracks that improved pedestrian mobility in the area The way this is written, the railroad tracks improved mobility?. Maybe In 1901, a viaduct was constructed for Peachtree Street over the railroad tracks, improving pedestrian mobility in the area
- Done.
