Haukilahti water tower

... that the Haukilahti water tower (pictured) in Espoo, Finland has a water container inspired by the TV series The Jetsons, and is the only water tower in the Helsinki capital region open to the public? ^[1]^: 72–77

5x expanded by JIP (talk). Self-nominated at 03:15, 19 September 2021 (UTC).[reply]

- no copyvio found, article suitably upgraded. Might I suggest only using up until the Jetsons in the hook? That would be a lot more punchy. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:54, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"... that the Haukilahti water tower (pictured) in Espoo, Finland has a water container inspired by the TV series The Jetsons?" This sounds better as it more concise. Should the hook be changed? JIP | Talk 00:33, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promoter's comment to @JIP and Lee Vilenski: I made the hook even a bit more concise—for this hook, the punchier, the better. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another flying saucer in town[edit]

Espoo is also the location of Futuro house number one, built at about that same time; is there any connection? J S Ayer (talk) 01:01, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In fact Futuro houses #0 and #1, shaped like flying saucers, built in 1968, are in Espoo. J S Ayer (talk) 00:57, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
