  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook really doesn't sound hooky. Also, your article says the expansion was in 1961, which is only 5 years later. It's too bad you didn't clip the Newspapers.com articles under their open access policy so we could see the sources you're using. The part about the green tinted sidewalks at the opening sounds very hooky. Yoninah (talk) 19:02, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I would just tweak it a little to eliminate the SEAOFBLUE and identify the structure:
  • ALT1a: ... that when the Colonial Plaza shopping center opened in Orlando, Florida in 1956, its sidewalks were tinted green to reduce glare?
  • ALT1a hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Cambalachero. ALT1a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:17, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
