Nā Kūkaʻikaʻi Kū'ē a me nā Kūkaʻikaʻi e Kipa i Queens

Ma nā makahiki i hala aku nei, hiki wale nō i ka poʻe malihini mai o NYC a me nā poʻe o ka'āina ke holo i Queens inā hele lākou i nā hoaaloha e noho ana ma ka moku, a iʻole paha e hopu ana lākou i ka pili Mets a me ka US Open match. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ināʻoe i noi aku i kahi huakaʻi NYC no ka weheweheʻana i ka Queens, e pane paha paha lākou: "ʻAʻole anei kēia kahi aʻu e hoʻoholo nei ma ke ala mai ka mokulele i Manhattan?"

Ua hoʻololiʻia nā manawa. ʻO nā mea nohoʻelua o nā moku'āina o New York a me nā malihini kipa o ke kūlanakauhale, ke loli mau nei lākou i Queens ma o kona hiʻohiʻona kūlana iwiʻole iʻikeʻoleʻia, nā hanana, nā kaiaulu kiʻi kiʻi mau, a me nā hanana kūikawā.

Ua piʻi nui nāʻano kaiāulu e like me Long Island City a me Astoria a uaʻikeʻia ka piliʻana o lākou i Manhattan, ma'ō aku o ka East East. Eia naʻe, hiki i nā malihini ke hele hou aku i kaʻaoʻao o ka moku, ke huli i nā'āina haʻahaʻa. Hoʻolālā nā mea waiwai a me nā mea hoʻolālā i nā "hou" a me nā "wahi iʻikeʻoleʻia" i mea e hoʻonui ai i ka waiwai o nā mea kahiko a iʻole e kūʻai aku i nā mea i kūkulu houʻia. Eia naʻe, hiki i kahi mea nānāʻo NYC e nānā nei eʻike i kahi kaiāulu no ka leʻaleʻa a me kaʻike,ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hihia kūponoʻole i ka huliʻana i nā'āina hou eʻimi. No laila, no ka poʻe iʻikeʻoleʻia a me kaʻikeʻole, aia iʻelua mau "up-and-coming" (i kēia manawa) mau wahi e hele ai i Queens.

  ʻO Jackson Heights

  ʻO kekahi o nā kohe wai nui o NYC - me nā'āpana o nā kaiāulu i kapaʻiaʻo "India" a me "Himalayan Heights," mahalo i ka lehulehu nui o Indians, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Tibet, Bhutanese, a me nā kānaka Nepalese - ua noho lōʻihiʻo Jackson Heights i ka ʻo ia me ka hōʻailona me nā meaʻai nui no konaʻiʻo pono'ī. ʻOiai,ʻo ka hapaha ua hoʻopukaʻia me nā meaʻaiʻono, ke heleʻoe i loko o ka Jackson Diner kaulana loa no ka'Anelani, aiʻole eʻimi i nā momona a me nā meaʻano'ē aʻe Healayan ma nā wahi like Himalayan Yak. He nui nā mea'ē aʻe o nā'apenaʻo'Asia a meʻAmelika Hema e kapa neiʻo Jackson Heights ma ka home,ʻoiai - hiki iāʻoe keʻike pono i kā lākou moʻomeheu, inā paha e pili ana i kahi pisco Peruvian pono loa i hoʻolaʻaʻiaʻo Pisco bar Amaru, aiʻole e komo i loko ʻO ka moa i ulanaʻia i Korean i UFO (Unknownified Flying Chickens).

  Akā, i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua loaʻa i kēia kua'āina kahiko kahi hou o ka palahalaha iʻoi aku ma waho o kāna mau kīʻahi, me ka lehulehu o nā poʻe noho a me nā malihini kipa i kauʻia e ka huiʻana o ke ala moana nui loa (kahi 30 mau minuke mai Grand Central wale nō i ke ala kiʻekiʻe 7 ) a me ka hale hana nani (kahi i manaʻoʻia e uku kumukūʻai i ka NYC mau waiwai no ka poʻe e nānā ana e kūʻai). ʻO kekahi o kēlā mau waiwai i hāʻule i loko o ka naniʻo Jackson Heights Historic District, e holo ana mai kaʻaoʻao hikina o 76th Street a hiki i kaʻaoʻao komohana o alanui 88, a mai Roosevelt Avenue a hiki i Northern Boulevard. ʻO kahi hoʻonohonoho i hoʻonohonohoʻia no nā makahiki 1920 o ka "nā hale kanu," hiki mai ia me ka'āpana ma hope o ka papa o nā hale kaua mua i hanaʻia, kokoke i nā mea a pau e mālama ana i nā māla kūʻokoʻa - he mea hauʻoli ia e hele wale ma waena o ko lākou kaiāulu a mahalo i kona hoʻolālā a me ke kūlana maikaʻi o ke ola NYC.

  ʻO Woodside

  He mau haneli mau makahiki i hala,ʻo Woodside he'āina kūponoʻole, i kapaʻia e nā poʻe kahiko o kaʻEleʻele i kapaʻiaʻo "Wolf Swamp." Mai ia manawa (a waihoʻia aku nā hoʻohenehene politika), ua hoʻopiha maoliʻia ka paluhi, a ma kahi i ulu ai ka mahiʻai, a ma hope , nui nā kānaka, ma mua o ka puaʻana i kahi kaiāulu noho pono. I kēia lā, ua kōkua maikaʻiʻia kēlā wahi e nā kawana o ka transit ma uka o ka NYC (me nā laina o ke alahaka a me ka Long Long Rail Road), akā, ma ke kaʻa, hiki keʻaeʻia ka BQE a me Long Island Expressway. Me nā koho kūikawā he nui, a me nā hale kūʻai i kūʻai ponoʻia,ʻo Woodside - e like me nāʻano o nā mea'ē aʻe o kaʻEnelani Komohana - ua lilo ia i mea mana no nā'ōpili'ōpili'ōpio e nānā ana e hoʻokumu i nā aʻa i ka NYC, aiʻole no nā malihini hou eʻimi i kaʻoluʻolu a me kaʻike. nā kaiaulu i kēia manawa e'ōlelo nei i kā lākou'ōlelo a kaʻana like i kā lākou moʻomeheu.

  I ka'ōleloʻana o nā lāhui malihini,ʻo Woodside kahi i hoʻokumu i kahi o nā kaiāulu nui o Irish ma nā Queenena a pau, a he mauʻano hauʻoli nuiʻo Gaelic ma nā wahi o ke kaiāulu. Ma kaʻaoʻaoʻo Roosevelt, kahi punahele Donovan o ka poʻe kahi punahele maikaʻi loa ma ke kūlanakauhale aʻikeʻia kekahi Irishʻano likeʻole e ka poʻe paia a me nā poʻe hewa a me ka'ōlohelohe o Cuckoo. A ma kahi e pili ana i alanui Alanside a me 60th Street, eʻikeʻoe iā Sean Og, kahi hale Irish maikaʻi iʻikeʻia e hoʻoneʻeʻia mai Ireland mai a hoʻonohoʻia ma Kuini.

  Inā makemakeʻoe i ka meaʻai Thai, e huli kokeʻoe i kahi SriPraPhai kaulanaʻo Woodside. ʻO ka mea i hoʻomaka e like me kahi'āpanaʻai liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e hāʻawi ana i kahi mea hikiʻole ke hiki ke hāʻawiʻia i nā'ōlaʻi Thai kūikawā, ua lilo i mea nui loa e kūlike i kona kaulana, e like me ka hale hoʻokipa maikaʻi (ʻo ia ka wā hāmama). ʻO kā lākou papahana he voluminous - maikaʻi ia i ka hoʻokoloʻana ma waho o nā kumuhana.

  Ma waena o 63 mau alanui a me ke alanui 71 ma ke alanui Roosevelt, eʻike hou ana pahaʻoe i ka puʻuwai o "Little Manila," he kaona o nā haleʻaina Filipino a me nā hale kūʻai i hoʻonohoʻia no ka lawelaweʻana i ko lākou kaiāulu kūloko. Ināʻoe eʻimi ana i ka meaʻai Filipino, e like me ka haʻinaʻikeʻole o kaʻaloʻulaʻula-yam, hele i kēia mau wahi: Krystal's Café a me Pastry Shop kahi hoʻomaka maikaʻi.

  Ma waho aʻe o ka lehulehu o nā meaʻai, nā kīʻahi, a me nā hale kūʻai e hana ana iā Woodside eʻike, aia kekahi mauʻoihana hou ākea, e like me ka Project Life Center, he misionari no ka hoʻolakoʻana i nāʻike āpau a me ka hoʻonaʻauaoʻana no ke ola o ke kaiaulu holoʻokoʻa. ʻOiaiʻo ia e kau nui ana i nā wāhine, ma kaʻuhane o ka hoʻokūkū, hoʻolauleʻa lākou i ka "Pōʻakahi Mensday,"ʻo ia hoʻi, ka mea e leʻaleʻa nei i ka komoʻana a me ka lālā mai nā kāne.

  ʻO Topaz Arts, i kēia manawa, hoʻolaha i ka hōʻike a me kahi hana no nāʻoihana multidisciplinary; ʻO ia kekahi o nā mea mua i weheʻia ma nā kaiāulu, i ka hopena eʻikeʻia ana e nā mea kākau NYC a me nā mea aloha kiʻi.

  Ke waiho waleʻia nei,ʻo Woodside he kaha, kahiʻoihana, a ke kali neiʻo ia e kipa iāʻoe. Ua nohoʻo Francis Ford Coppola, ka luna kaulana o Ke Akua , i kahi manawa e like me James Caan, nāna i hoʻokaniʻo Sonny. I kēlā hihia, e kipa ana iā Woodside, "he hōʻailona hikiʻole iāʻoe ke hōʻole!"
