- Source excerpt:
In 1954, he ["Sully" Sullivan] was the owner of a sandwich shop on Aquidneck Avenue and a bar, Sully's Pub, on Williams Street. Station owner Milton Mitler came into the bar one day and asked him what he thought of WADK. "I said, 'I don't like it. They play all that corny music. The great pastime of Rhode Island, you're going to learn, is talking politics.'"

Expanded in the right time range, long enough and so on. I've reassessed as C-class post-expansion—no content issues with the article (including a copyvio check). QPQ done. Taking the source quoted above on good faith, the hook is fine, verified in the article, interesting etc. — Bilorv (talk) 16:51, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
