Orchard Beach (Bronx)

Interesting substantial article, on plenty of good sources. I think the original - with orchard and riviera - is too harmless, and am not keen on "convert". How about something about the sand from somewhere else, more than once, for those who don't know? Will wait for qpq also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I'll try to get a QPQ done, but I might not get to it until the end of this month, because I'm still on vacation. How about this alt hook: epicgenius (talk) 03:35, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
  • The hook is fine, enjoy vacation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
thank you, I prefer ALT2. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:32, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
