The house formerly occupied by Bop City, now located at 1712 Fillmore Street.

• ... that the building housing 1950s jazz club Bop City (pictured) was later moved two blocks west from Post Street to Fillmore Street, San Francisco? Source: "Two sites celebrating local African American heritage, Marcus Books (1712 Fillmore Street) and Sam Jordan's Bar (4004 Third Street), were added to the Work Program at the request of their owners. Originally located on Post Street, 1712 Fillmore Street was one of dozens of Victorians relocated by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in the mid-1970s." (Reflecting on the Past, Embracing the Future Heritage News 39 (3))
  • ALT1:... that the jazz club Bop City was the site of the only meeting between Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (Rand Richards: Historic Walks in San Francisco: 18 Trails Through the City's Past)

• This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed. Both the hooks have inline citations and either could be used. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (Earwig's concerns relate to lengthy quotations and are of no consequence). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this and formatted all the URLs using shortened footnotes and Wikipedia:Citation templates. If you are going to produce more book-researched articles like this, you should make yourself familiar with these templates, especially including ISBN numbers. I removed two non-reliable sources (IMDb and wordpress), and noted one dead link which needs to be fixed or deleted. The lead should also be expanded to cover the points mentioned in the article. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:47, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks for your work and comments! Sorry about the citations - I copied them across from German Wikipedia and didn't think to check about reformatting them. I've added a new citation to replace the dead link. I've also expanded the lead a bit to mention some of the more notable points in the article. -dmmaus (talk) 07:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you! The cites are all in place and the lead is excellent. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
