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/_Rational 15:36, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

@ComplexRational: Thanks for the review. On further thought, I don't think I have any other hooks in mind. Epicgenius (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
