• ... that the underpass between the Jergins Trust Building and Long Beach, now the subject of a Lana Del Rey song, was originally built in 1927 to protect pedestrians from heavy traffic on Ocean Boulevard?

  • Comment: Happy to provide an alternate hook if this is too messy - the song is Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (song)

Created by SportingFlyer (talk). Self-nominated at 16:49, 10 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jergins Trust Building; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New and long enough, within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios. QPQ needed. The hook doesn't make sense because the building is in Long Beach. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 01:45, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Also just realized, there's an interesting gimmick available here... Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 01:50, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd that once led to the Jergins Trust Building in Long Beach, California?

• I like it. SportingFlyer T·C 12:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Great! You still need to do a QPQ review since this is your sixth DYK. Then I'll hail someone to approve ALT1. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 05:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

@Antony-22: Thanks! I didn't realise that - what's the best place to learn how to do a QPQ review since it'll be my first one? SportingFlyer T·C 09:33, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

QPQ completed at Native Island. SportingFlyer T·C 14:26, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

QPQ looks good! Just need a new reviewer to check my hook. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 02:03, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Just as a note to the promoter, the capitalization and spelling of the first link is because it's a song name and shouldn't be changed. Since "Did You Know" is actually part of the song name, the initial ellipsis is inside the wikilink. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 21:27, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

What's an international arcade?

It says there was an international arcade on the lowest floor, but it's not obvious to me what that means. TooManyFingers (talk) 14:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
