Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 01:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC).
Epicgenius Recent GA, length and general citing not an issue, and no major incidences of plagiarism. QPQ is done, so just the hooks. I think the original hook is the best - I don't really think ALT2 is that interesting and I have concerns with ALT1 - the article mentions "South Brooklyn residents" and not Sunset Park.

- @Juxlos: Thanks for the review. "South Brooklyn" was an old name for Sunset Park as mentioned in the article. epicgenius (talk) 22:01, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
