30 Ihlobo lindiqala ngokusesikweni xa ndibona umhlobo wam uPolly elinde kwisikhululo seenqanawa saseSeaview kunye neRadio Flyer yakhe ebomvu. Ndikhuliswe phantse kwiFire Island; abazali bam babenendlu yehlobo phakathi kweendunduma zaseSeaview & apos; kwii1960 & apos; s nakwi70 & apos; s. Njengomntwana, umsebenzi wam yayikukuhlangabezana neeferi zempelaveki ('izikhephe zikatata') ngenqwelo yam. Abantu baya kukuhlawula idola (okanye bekuyikota?) Ukurhola izinto zabo begoduka. 'Wagon? Nawuphi na umntu ufuna inqwelo?'
KwiFire Island, wonke umntu usasebenzisa iinqwelo zokuthwala izinto ngeenxa zonke; Azikho iimoto kolu hlaselo lucebileyo lwentlabathi iimayile ezintandathu ukusuka kunxweme olusemazantsi eLong Island. Ngenxa yoko, umoya unuka kamnandi kwaye ubusuku buthule kamnandi.
Idibeneyo: IiDolophu eziLwandle zaseMelika eziBalaseleyo
'Ndacinga ukuba ndibethile kumnyango ovulekileyo weparadesi,' utshilo uPolly, ekhumbula isihlandlo sokuqala awabona ngaso iSiqithi Somlilo, ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo. Nangona izinto zitshintshile — ingumthandi, kubiza kakhulu, kuyaphithizela — ubuhle bangaphandle buhlala buhleli: iilwandle ezinesanti emhlophe, ulwandle olugudileyo njengeglasi ngenye imini, luhamba ngolwandle ngokulandelayo. Kuba isiqithi esineemayile ezingama-32 ubude sineebhloko ezintathu kuphela ububanzi, wena kunye neapos awusoze uphinde ube ngaphezulu kwemizuzu emihlanu ukusuka elunxwemeni okanye elwandle. Kwaye ngaphandle kokufikeleleka kwayo — ziiposi ezingama-50 kuphela ukusuka kwiSixeko saseNew York — zikhona iiapos zomoya zokwahlula malunga nale ndawo.
Abantu bathi kum, 'Ukhulele kwiFire Island,' ngokungathi andikhuliswanga kwisono. Ngabantu bayo abangama-gay, ii-single bar zayo apho abantu ngamanye amaxesha bexhoma kude kuse, kunye nexesha elidlulileyo le-bohemian, isiqithi besisoloko sinedumela lokuphumla. Inyani yile yokuba uninzi lwabantu luza apha ukumba iiclams, ukubhala iincwadi, ukukhulisa abantwana, kunye nokulala ebhedini ngecala lesithoba.
Ukuma ecaleni kwentlabathi okweqokobhe ziindawo ezithile zasehlotyeni ezili-17 ezahlukileyo, ezizezesizwe, kwaye ziyazikhusela. Ngokwesiqhelo, ekuphela kwendlela yokuhamba usiya kwenye uye ngeenyawo elunxwemeni okanye ngeteksi yamanzi. Ukubaleka ukusuka entshona ukuya empuma, kukho i-Kismet, ene-charm enganxibanga zihlangu, emva koko yi-Saltaire, neendlela zayo ezilungisiweyo kunye nezindlu ezenziwe ngomthi zesilivere; Ummelwane wase Saltaire kunye neapos empuma yi Harbour Harbour, apho iingcali zeendaba zase New York zithande ukuhlangana. I-Ocean Beach, ngaphezulu kwekota ezintathu zekhulu leminyaka, yeyona dolophu inkulu kwesi siqithi, idolophu encinci iMelika iwele iGreenwich Village. Umnyango olandelayo yiLwandle. Idolophu yam. Izindlu zonke zenziwe ngomthi, ezinye zibhabhodi emdaka kunye neebhokisi zetyuwa ezimhlophe. Ukusukela oko kungene imali enkulu ngee-90, ezinye zazo ziye zaqala ukufana noTara kuLwandle-iSeaview kwii-steroids. Okwangoku, yindawo yokuphumla, eneevenkile zokutya kunye nendlu yesikhungu.
Ukuqhubela phambili, zikhona ii-Apos ze-Ocean Bay Park, ezihlala 'ngamaqela' (abantu ababelana ngezokurenta kwaye badelelwa ngabo bangabaninizo), kulandele uPoint O & apos; I-Woods, idolophu enemilebe exineneyo ene-gabled turn-of-the century century, iklabhu ye yacht, kunye nothango lokudibanisa amakhonkco ukugcina abantu abangabaziyo ngaphandle. Ngasempuma kweHlathi laseSunken — isiporho, esineminyaka engama-300 ubudala silondolozwa — ziidolophana, kwezinye, ezichaza iFire Island. ICherry Grove, kunye nezindlu zayo ezithandwayo, ubukhulu becala isini, kwaye iFire Island Pines iphantse yatsala amadoda athandana namanye. Ngaphaya kwePayini kukho ii-Apesi zesiQithi saManzi kuphela, isuntswana lemvuthuluka yentsimi eyintanda ngabalingisi nababhali.
I-Fire Islanders ezahlukahlukeneyo zibonisa isimo sengqondo esifanelekileyo kwiindawo ezingezizo ezabo, nangona zizinto ezintle ezintle. Ndikhumbula ehlotyeni xa ezinye iinqwelo zatshintsha iibhola ze-matzoh elunxwemeni ePoint O & apos; Woods, eyayi (kwaye isekhona) ngokuqinileyo WASP- kwaye waspish malunga nokuvumela abantu bangaphandle ukuba bangene. Njengabantwana, xa safumana isango le Point O & apos; I-Woods ivulekile, ngesibindi (kwaye mhlawumbi hayi ngokusemthethweni) sahamba ngeebhayisikile zethu ukuya kwilali engaqondakaliyo. Ngamanye amaxesha sasizenzela amagama esiwajonga njengawethu amagama, ukuba sinokubanjwa.
ISaltaire kunye nePoint O & apos; Iinkuni zazakhelwe iindwendwe zasehlotyeni malunga nasekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20, kodwa yayingeyiyo eyowe-1920 kunye nesiQithi soMlilo esathi saqala ukubonakala. Abantu bemidlalo yeqonga eNew York beza kuqala, belandelwa ngababhali, amagcisa, kwaye, kamva, iimbacu. Umhlobo wam uPolly, naye ongowaseBelgian, ukhumbula uninzi lwabo, amaJuda aseJamani abaleka eYurophu ngexesha leMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi: 'Kubakhumbuza ngeelwandle kunye neendunduma zaseBaltic. Ngamashumi amahlanu anamashumi amathandathu, esi siqithi sasichuma, sihlala sithandwa ngabantu njengoMel Brooks, uWoody Allen noHarry Belafonte.
Emva phaya, ebuntwaneni bam, iinyawo ezingenanto yayiyindlela yokuphila. Ndizikhulule izihlangu zam kwimpelaveki kaJulayi wesine kwaye khange ndizibeke ndide ndigoduke ndiye edolophini emva koSuku lwaBasebenzi.
Namhlanje, xa sisendleleni eya kwindlu kaPolly, sibaleka siye kumaxhama amathathu sifuna into yokutya. Impucuko iza ngokuchasene nendalo kuyo yonke indawo kwiFire Island, nangona iya isanda, yiyo indalo ezinikezelayo. Kule minyaka idlulileyo, abahlali abatsha batyale iigadi apho kungafanelekanga ukuba khona. Iziphumo: Ixhama elalidla ngokugcina kwiHlathi laseSunken lize edolophini lizokutya, lizisa isifo seLyme. Kwaye izindlu ziye zakhula ngakumbi, nangona kuthatha isihogo-kunye-nesibindi sokwakha esikhulu kwiFire Island: ngo-1938, inkanyamba yatshabalalisa phantse yonke into, kwaye izindlu ezininzi zaphazanyiswa zizikhukula ngexesha lezaqhwithi ezinobushushu Ngo-1991.
Emva kokuba ndilahle ibhegi yam ePolly & apos; s ndisiya kudada, sobabini saya e-Ocean Beach kwisidlo sangokuhlwa. Ngobusuku basehlotyeni izihlwele zinokuba nzima, kodwa lonke ixesha, i-Ocean Beach yidolophana eyomeleleyo, iflegi yaseMelika ebhabha eluhlaza. Nge Indlu yokutya kwaselwandle kaMateyu (kufutshane nomnyango we-Ocean Beach; 631 / 583-8016; isidlo sangokuhlwa ngeedola ezimbini) Mna noPolly sihleli kwizibuko elijonge ichweba. Iitafile zigqunywe ngelaphu elinamafutha, uFrank Sinatra udlala kwinkqubo yesandi, ii-steamers zilungile, kwaye intlanzi intsha. Ungayipheka nangayiphi na indlela, ethosiweyo enzulu, isosiwe, ebhijiweyo, okanye isitayile seMeditera, kunye neminquma kunye neetumato. Yeyona ndawo intle edolophini ngexesha lesidlo sasemini okanye isidlo sangokuhlwa — ungabeka isikhephe sakho apha. Indawo yokutyela yaseMaguire Bayfront (631 / 583-8800; isidlo sangokuhlwa ngeedola ezimbini) I-standby endala kwelinye icala ledolophana, nayo ine-dock. Njengabantwana, sathathwa apho ngabazali bethu sayokuloba ilobster; njengabantu abadala siza kutya-kwaye sikhumbule.
Undwendwe oluqhelekileyo olufuna ukuchitha usuku kwiSiqithi seMlilo, i-Ocean Beach yindawo elungileyo ongaqala kuyo; enye yiPines. Ngosuku lwam lwesibini ndithatha iteksi yamanzi eya ePines, iikhilomitha ezintandathu ukusuka e-Ocean Beach. Ngeendlela zayo zokuhamba-hamba, iinkuni ezixineneyo, iitonela zohlaza, kunye nechweba elinokuthi libe kumazantsi eFrance, yeyona lali intle kunazo zonke. Ndima e Isakhelo (36 Fire Island Blvd., Fire Island Pines; 631 / 597-8888; isidlo sangokuhlwa ngeedola ezimbini) Ivenkile yokutyela yase-Itali kufutshane nezibuko, isaladi ye-mozzarella-kunye ne-tomato kunye neengxoxo zencoko.
Ngobo busuku, ndibuyele eSeaview, ndihleli kumgangatho wePolly & apos, ndimamele ukuqhekeka kweenkuni phantsi kweenyawo zexhama elingasemva kwendlu kunye nokutswina komkhenkce ovela kwindlu elandelayo. Emva kwexesha, iglasi yewayini ngesandla, ndiye kwiindunduma kwaye ndihlala kwizinyuko zomthi ezikhokelela elunxwemeni. Inyanga iphezulu. Akukho sandi konke konke-akukho zimoto, akukho lizwi-ngaphandle kwe-surf ebetha esantini, kwaye iFire Island ibonakala ngathi iphupha kwaye isongelwe kwimemori yolonwabo.
