Nantsi indlela uhambo olune-14 kwiSikhephe saseStenen Island esijongeka ngayo.Imizobo nguKaitlyn Flannagan kuMqwalaseli
Njengomntu okhulele eStenen Island, ndithathe isikhephe amaxesha amaninzi. Kwikholeji, ndazenza umntu omdala ndaza ndathatha amaphenyane okubaleka ngeyure ndaya koqeqesho kwi-Upper West Side. Ndithathe amaphenyane phakathi evekini ngemini ndisiya kubona indawo kunye nabahlobo abasuka ngaphandle kwedolophu. Ndithathe u-3: 30 ekuseni ukukhwela andikhumbuli tu, ndibuya ebusuku ebusuku edolophini, njengoko abantu baseStenen Island babiza iManhattan.
Kodwa andizange ndithathe isikhephe amaxesha ali-14 ngosuku olunye. Kude ngoLwesithathu odlulileyo.
Kwaqala, njengenani elothusayo lamabali am, kunye nesiqingatha sokuqhula i-tweet eza kum xa ndandihamba ndisiya eofisini yam kwisitalato iWhitehall. I-Staten Island Ferry kufuneka ibenenkqubo yokubhala-yokuhlala njengo-Amtrak, ndathumela ngoJulayi 14. Umbono wajika waba luhambo lweeyure ezisibhozo ukuya ndawo kwizikhephe ezine ezahlukileyo, njengoko ndizibhengeza ukuba ndingumbhali weFerry ongafanelekanga- Indawo yokuhlala.
I-odyssey yethu yaqala nge-10: 30 kusasa, sikhwela kwi-Staten Island eboshwe nguJohn J. Marchi. Ndandixhobile ngayo yonke into efunwa yintatheli ephathekayo: ilaptop yam, i-iPhone yam, i-wifi hotspot yam, iitshaja kunye nekofu enomqolo kunye necroissant endandiyithenge e-Bakery ka-Aunt Butchie e-Whitehall Terminal.
Ininzi yemini yam ndichithe amanzi ndichitha ingxelo, kodwa bekukho namaxesha athuleyo ndichitha ndisenza into endiqhele ukuyenza-ukusela ikofu, ukubhala, ukuphikisana ngezopolitiko zendlela kaMzimba kaBill de Blasio yokuzivocavoca kuTwitter, ukuhlela amabali oogxa bam. Ndizamile isihlalo sonke endlwini — indawo nganye engaphandle (icala elijonge kwi-Statue of Liberty lixinene kakhulu, indawo esemgangathweni ejonge eManhattan inombono endiwuthandayo kodwa ingxolo ye-injini ingxola), izitulo ezantsi ezinabakhweli abangakhathaliyo umbono, amabala ngaphakathi kufutshane neminyango engenisa impepho.
Ndaze ndaliva ibinzana elifanayo ndiphinda-phinda: Zonke iindawo eziselunxwemeni, bonke abantu, bonke abakhweli mabahambe
Le yingxaki ephambili yokuba ngumbhali kwindawo yokuhlala esikhepheni: ngekhe uhlale nje, ngokungathi unokuhamba ngololiwe ixesha elide. Ukusukela oko kwahlaselwa ngoSeptemba 11, imigaqo yoLondolozo loNxweme ifuna ukuba isikhephe ngasinye sikhutshwe emva kokumisa. Kwicala elingaphezulu, ndangena kumanqanaba ngaphezulu kunokuba ndihlala ndihlala edesikeni yam.

Uninzi lohambo lwethu lwalukwinqanawa i-Guy V. Molinari, inqanawa enkulu eyayibizwa ngokuba ngulowo wayengu-congressman nowayengumongameli we-borough, owayeneminyaka engama-87, esaqhubeka nokulwa nabapolitiki base Staten Island isiqingatha seminyaka yakhe-kunyaka ophelileyo kudliwanondlebe awaluxelelayo. mna ngekhe andixolele isenator yelizwe kunye neRiphabhlikhi endisebenza nayo kancinci, ndimbona njengophantsi. Yayiyindawo efanelekileyo yokuhlangana noMongameli weBorough uJames Oddo (othe wadibana esidlangalaleni noMolinari) kudliwanondlebe lwasemini.
Abakhweli abaninzi babengabakhenkethi — akukho namnye kubo owamkelwa nguOddo, owathi ngovuyo wabhengeza eyakhe inkonzo yasesidlangalaleni malunga nenkunkuma phakathi kwentengiso kwisikhephe. Ekuseni nangokuhlwa, izikhephe zigcwele abantu baseStenen Island, abantu ababona isikhephe njengesiqhagamshelo esibalulekileyo sokuhamba kunokuba sihambe ngolwandle simahla. Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, uOddo wayephakathi kwabo — esiya suku ngalunye esiya kwiSikolo soMthetho saseNew York, esenza ubuhlobo nabanye abantu besiQithi ababehamba: Babedla ngokusibiza ngokuba singabantu besikhephe.
Isikhephe sibonakala ngathi siyiphelisile iVerrazano Bridge, elona xesha lide lokunqunyanyiswa kwesizwe, njengowona mfanekiso ubalaseleyo weStaten Island.
Yiphenyane elikhulu leorenji elidadayo elizaliswe ngabalinganiswa iHollywood ayinakubhala, utshilo uOddo. Kwaye kuko konke isikhephe.

Kuyadandathekisa kum ukuba zombini ezi zinto zimelweyo kwidolophu yasekhaya ziindlela onokuzishiya, kodwa bendingenalo ixesha elininzi lokuzijonga. Emva kwekhefu lesidlo sasemini, ndakhwela ndaya kwi-S.I.Newhouse, ebizwa ngokuba lijelo losasazo ubukhosi babo obaqala ngalo Ukuqhubela phambili kweStenen Island , I-alma mater yam kunye nephepha lendawo yesithili, ebonisa umzekeliso weSikhephe saseStenen Island kwibhanile yaso. Ngentsimbi yesi-3 emva kwemini. iphenyane ndibambe intlanganiso kunye nomthombo wezopolitiko ongabizwanga ngagama-loo nto yintatheli ithetha ngokuhleba ngomntu osebenzela igosa elonyuliweyo kwaye ndinethemba lokuba iimbono ezimbalwa zamabali ziyavela kuyo. Nge-3: 30 emva kwemini. ukubuyela eManhattan, ndandikhwele eMolinari kwakhona xa ndizama ukucofa ilaptop yam kwindawo yokuphuma yombane kwaye ndadibana nenye ingxaki enokubulala inkqubo yokubhala: yayifile.
Akukho namnye kubo osebenzayo, umhambi ohleli kufutshane uthe. Bazivalela ngaphandle — imilo emininzi kakhulu.
Ndiye ndeva-umhlobo wam u-Anna Sanders, intatheli yeHolo yeSixeko ye-Advance, wayelophule elo bali . Ngaphandle kokumangalisa, ibali malunga nabantu baseSiqithini abalwa ukuba ngubani oza kuhlawulisa i-iPhone yabo iye yangena kwintsholongwane-kwaye ikhokelele i-DOT ukuba ithembise ukubuyisela iivenkile kwakhona. Umhlobo wethu omtsha uthe indawo ekuthengiswa kuyo ukutya okutyayo isasebenza.
Kuhambo olulandelayo,Ndenze ingxelo yophando: Ndizamile ezinye iivenkile ezimbini eMolinari, kumgangatho ongaphakathi ongaphakathi, ndingenathamsanqa. Emva koko, ndaye ndayivavanya indawo yokuphuma kwindawo yokutya okuncinanana: eureka! Amandla! Ingcebiso yendoda yahlolwa.

Ngexesha nje: bendilindele umnxeba ovela kuEddie Joyce, umbhali wenoveli waseStaten Island kunye nombhali Iinceba ezincinci . Imbono evela ngasemva kwesikhephe njengoko yayinjalo kwiminyaka yama-90 — iManhattan, neeTwin Towers zisemi, ngasemva kocingo olume okwedayimane elisecaleni kwenqanawa — zihombise iqweqwe elilukhuni.
Ndikhumbula ngokucacileyo xa ndandikwishumi elivisayo, ndisiya esixekweni ndize ndibuye ekhaya xa isitsala kwaye i-Twin Towers iluhlobo olungaphezulu kwakho, ukhumbula uJoyce, njengoko ndandichwetheza esihlalweni kufutshane nendawo yokulahla inkunkuma kwindawo yokutya. Luhlobo oluthile lokuthimba, ngalo mzuzu, ukunqunyulwa okanye ubudlelwane iStaten Island esinaso sonke isixeko: Inxalenye yaso, kodwa hayi ngqo.
Ukuba ukhwela isikhephe ixesha elaneleyo, thumela malunga noko ngokwaneleyo, kwaye unabalandeli abaneleyo kurhulumente wedolophu, ekugqibeleni izaziso zeDOT. Ndema emqolo ongasemva ndijonga eManhattan ndincokola nomhlobo wam osebenzela umthetheli weedolophu-uhlala uhlangana nomnye umntu kwisikhephe, emva kwayo yonke loo nto- xa iarhente ibiza kwaye ibuza ukuba ndingathanda umva kancinci -imiboniso
Yiloo ndlela ke endiye ndachitha ngayo ukuchitha uhambo olulandelayo kwindlu yovavanyo ye-Spirit of America, ndimangalisiwe bubungakanani benqanawa enkulu yeekhonteyina eyasinqumlayo xa kanye sasizokumka eSt. George-abakhweli bezithuthi zendlela abathandabuzayo bakhona xa iDOT iyibeka ityala ngokulibaziseka. Indlu yokulinga yayigcwele izikrini zobuchwephesha obuphezulu ecaleni kwezinto zakudala: umdlali wekhasethi, ivili lokuqhuba elisebenza ngenene. Abakhweli (mna phakathi kwabo) ngamanye amaxesha bayakhalaza malunga nokufika okungaginyisi mathe, kodwa bebona iinzame zabaphathi-mikhosi beqhuba i-behemoth edadayo besiya kwislip esomeleleyo apho imisinga ye-East kunye ne-Hudson Rivers idibana khona, lonke elixa i-jet skis ibhudlwa ngapha nangapha, iyenze yaziva ingaphantsi kakhulu .

Yinto enzima leyo, waphawula uKyle Griswold, umphathi wabasebenzi kwicandelo leenqanawa ze-DOT. Akululanga njengokumisa nje imoto.
Kodwa ngelixa abakhweli bekhalaza, abakhenkethi (kunye neNew Yorkers abanemvakalelo kunye nabantu abaza kuba ngababhali-kwindawo yokuhlala) bayayithanda. Ndicinga ukuba sineyona ndawo yokuhamba yoluntu ephezulu Uncedo , Utshilo uGriswold.
Uhambo lwethu lokugqibela lwafika njengokutshona kwelanga emva kweSitampu senkululeko, kwaye ndaye ndayibhiyozela kwifashoni yesikhephe sendabuko: nge-ounce ezili-16, iidola ezingama-3.50 zeBad Light kwindawo yokutya.
Ukuba ujonga indlela yokudibanisa indlela yakho yokubhala kwiivenkile zekofu, unokwenza okubi kakhulu. Kwaye kwixa elizayo, i-DOT inokubeka isihlalo esihle kuwe.
Lo ngumbono omangalisayo kuthi ukuba siwuqwalasele kuba siyazi ukuba iSikhephe saseStaten sinika amathuba angama-70,000 suku ngalunye ukuba abakhweli babonakalise, baqwalasele kwaye banike ingxelo njengoJillian, utshilo uKomishinala we-DOT uPolly Trottenberg kwingxelo ethi, masiyivume, mhlawumbi Inguqulelo kamasipala yokundihlekisa. Ukuhamba ngemizuzu engama-25 phakathi kweSt.George kunye neWhitehall kubonelela ngemibono yeNew York Harbour kunye neLady Liberty, incwadana yokundwendwela yokuhlola indawo enkulu yaseStaten Island, kunye nethuba lokonwabela umzuzu wokwenyani waseNew York.
