... that Hurricane Sandy blew off the roof of Paradise? Source: "Hurricane Sandy literally blew the roof off the Empress Hotel in Asbury Park, home of the alternative lifestyle dance spot, the Paradise nightclub." ([1])
- ALT1:... that Paradise crowns a new queen every year? Source: "But every winter the venue also crowns a brand-new Miss Paradise." ([2])

Comment: I think the hooks work better/are quirkier if the image is not used, but I've included it to provide an option in case one is needed that day.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Good to go with main hook or ALT1, but main preferred. (I had to think about ALT1 - part of the sourcing of the ALT1 hook is in the footnotes.) Support recommendation to run without pic, in the quirky bottom slot. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:49, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Usually we write in English:
ALT0a: ... that Hurricane Sandy blew the roof off Paradise? Yoninah (talk) 00:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Both formulations are common (at least in US English), so I have no preference between the two. If you like ALT0a better, it's fine by me. Armadillo pteryx 03:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
