Omnye wemikhenkce yokugqibela eseleyo eBrooklyn ilungiselela uSuku lomSebenzi wempelaveki kunye nomngxuma webarbecue. Dibana neqela elibalekayo ukuyihambisa, iikhilogram ezingama-40 ngexesha.
IHailstone Ice (umkhenkce wabo oneminyaka engama-90 ubudala eBrooklyn ngoku yiHailstone Ice) uxakekile qho ngeempelaveki zasehlotyeni, abasebenzi beme ecaleni kwendledlana phambi komlambo ongaguqukiyo weziqholo zasemva kwendlu, abathengisi basesitratweni, iicones zekhephu. Scraper kunye namanzi ngedola enye. abathengisi. , abaququzeleli beminyhadala bakhonza ibhiya eshushu, i-DJ yayidinga iqhwa elomileyo kwindawo yokudansa eqhumayo, i-Dunkin 'Donuts kunye ne-Shake Shacks yayineengxaki ngoomatshini babo bomkhenkce, kwaye ibhinqa lahambisa ukutya kweveki kwi-Burning Man.
Kodwa uSuku lomSebenzi yenye into- "enye yokugqibela enkulu," utshilo umnini weHailstone Ice uWilliam Lilly. Oku kungqamana ne-West Indies America's Day Parade kunye nomnyhadala womculo we-J'outvert wangaphambi kokusa, otsala izigidi zabasenzi, nokuba injani na imozulu.
“Usuku lwabasebenzi luziiyure ezingama-24 ubude,” utshilo uMnu. "Ibilisiko ixesha elide njengoko ndikhumbula, iminyaka engama-30 ukuya kwengama-40."
Ngentsimbi yesi-2 kusasa ngoMvulo, uMnumzana Lilly kunye neqela lakhe - abazala, abatshana, abahlobo bakudala kunye neentsapho zabo - baya kuqalisa ukuthengisa umkhenkce ngokuthe ngqo kumakhulu abathengisi bokutya ecaleni kwendlela yeparade yaseMpuma Boulevard de kube indlela ivaliwe emva kokuphuma kwelanga. ichaphaza. Iiveni zabo ezimbini nazo zanyanzeleka ukuba zilishiye ilizwe.
Bachitha imini yonke behamba bebuya nasemva besuka kumkhenkce, bethengisa iingxowa zomkhenkce eziziikhilogram ezingama-40 kwiinqwelo.
Olu lusuku lukaMnu. Lilly lwe-28th yoMsebenzi esebenza eGlacier, eyathi yafuduka ibhloko emazantsi kwi-Avenue yaseSt Mark's kwiminyaka emithandathu eyadlulayo. “Ndaqalisa ukusebenza apha ngoMhla woMsebenzi ngehlobo lowe-1991,” ukhumbula oku. “Bandicele ukuba ndiphathe ibhegi.”
Ukususela ngoko, umkhenkce uye waba ngumsebenzi wakhe. UMnu. Lilly, owaziwa kubamelwane bakhe njenge "Me-Rock," isizukulwana sesibini somkhenkce kunye nomphandi womkhenkce. Ufunda indlela abarhwebi abasebenzisa ngayo iipellets zakhe zomkhenkce ezomileyo ukwenza iicocktails eziqhumayo kunye nendlela izibhedlele ezisebenzisa ngayo iityhubhu zomkhenkce ezomileyo ukuthutha kunye nechemotherapy. Ucinga ngokugcina iityhubhu ezithandekayo, ezithe kratya ezithandwa ngabo bonke abathengisi bezandla; sele ethengisa iityhubhu zomkhenkce ezicwecwe zeKlingbell ukuze zikrolwe;
Ngaxa lithile wazithenga kuzo zonke iifektri zomkhenkce ezimbalwa ezikumazwe amathathu awayebonelela ngomkhenkce oseleyo esixekweni. Bamthengisela umkhenkce ekwiingxowa kunye nomkhenkce owomileyo, usikwe ngezando namazembe abe ngamaqhekezana okanye amacwecwe anomlinganiselo ofunekayo.
Mbuze ngokucima kukagesi kwisiXeko saseNew York ngo-Agasti ka-2003, kwaye uyakutsiba aphume kwisitulo se-ofisi yakhe akuxelele ibali malunga nezithintelo zamapolisa ngaphandle kweendawo zokugcina impahla ezithe zaya kutsho kwi-Albany Avenue. “Sasinabantu abaninzi kakhulu kweso sithuba sincinane,” watsho uMnu. Lilly. “Kwaphantse kwabakho udushe. Ndandineelori ezimbini okanye ezintathu zomkhenkce kuba sasisazi ukuba kuza kutshisa.”
Ude wabalisa ibali lokucima kukagesi ngo-1977, athe lenzeka ngobusuku awazalwa ngabo. Uyise wayengekho esibhedlele - kwafuneka athengise umkhenkce kwisitalato saseBergen.
“Ndiyayithanda,” utshilo uMnu. Lilly ngomsebenzi wakhe wakudala. Ukusukela oko bandibeka eqongeni, andizange ndicinge ngenye into.”
Iqonga yayiyindawo ephakanyisiweyo equlethe iibhloko zomkhenkce zakudala eziziiponti ezingama-300, awathi uMnumzan’ uLilly wafunda ukukorekisha nokusika ubukhulu esebenzisa iipliers kunye nepiki kuphela.
“Umsebenzi wezitena bubugcisa obulahlekileyo; abantu abayazi ukuba yintoni okanye bayisebenzise njani,” utshilo uDorian Alston, oneminyaka engama-43, umvelisi wefilimu ohlala kufutshane osebenze noLilly kwigloo ukusukela esengumntwana. Njengabanye abaninzi, wayeka ukuze ahlale okanye anikele uncedo xa kuyimfuneko.
Xa i-Ice House yayikwindawo yayo yokuqala kwiSitalato saseBergen, bakrola uninzi lwebhloko yamaqela amaninzi kwaye yayiyindawo eyakhiwe ngenjongo eyayibizwa ngokuba yiPalasciano Ice Company.
UMnu. Lilly wakhulela ngaphesheya kwesitrato kwaye uyise waqala ukusebenza ePalasciano esemncinane kakhulu. Xa uTom Palasciano wavula indawo ngowe-1929, amaplanga amancinane ayesikwa mihla le aze asiwe kwimigqomo yomkhenkce phambi kwefriji.
“UTom waba sisityebi ngokuthengisa umkhenkce,” watsho uMnu. Lilly. Utata wandifundisa indlela yokuwuphatha nokuwusika nokuwupakisha, kodwa uTom wayethengisa umkhenkce—yaye wayethengisa umkhenkce ngokungathi uphelelwa yifashoni.”
UMnu. Lilly waqalisa lo msebenzi xa wayeneminyaka eli-14 ubudala. Ethubeni, xa ebaleka le ndawo, wathi: “Sahlala ngasemva kwade kwabetha intsimbi yesibini ekuseni – kuye kwafuneka ndinyanzele abantu ukuba bahambe. Kwakusoloko kukho ukutya kwaye i-grill yayivuliwe. Bekukho utywala namakhadi.” imidlalo”.
Ngelo xesha, uMnumzana Lilly wayengenamdla wokuba nayo—kwaye wayeyi-rapper, erekhoda kwaye edlala. (I-mixtape ye-Me-Roc imbonisa emi phambi komkhenkce omdala.)
Kodwa xa umhlaba wathengiswa ngo-2012 waza wadilizwa umkhenkce ukuze kwakhiwe isakhiwo esinamagumbi aqeshisayo, umzala wamkhuthaza ukuba aqhubeke neshishini lakhe.
Ngokufanayo noJames Gibbs, umhlobo ophethe i-Imperial Bikers MC, iklabhu yesithuthuthu kunye neklabhu yentlalo yoluntu kwikona yeSt. Marks kunye neFranklin avenues. Waba liqabane leshishini likaMnumzana Lilley, elimvumela ukuba ajike igaraji yakhe emva kwendawo yentselo ibe yindlu yomkhenkce entsha. (Kukho nentsebenziswano yeshishini, kuba ibhari yakhe isebenzisa umkhenkce omninzi.)
Wavula iHailstone ngo-2014. Ivenkile entsha incinci kwaye ayinayo indawo yokupakisha okanye yokupaka imidlalo yamakhadi kunye neendawo zokoja inyama. Kodwa bakwazile. Kwiveki ngaphambi koSuku lomSebenzi, bamisa ifriji kwaye baceba indlela yokuzalisa indlu ngaphezu kwe-50,000 yeepounds zeqhwa ngeCawa.
“Siza kumtyhala siphume ngomnyango,” uMnu. Lilly waqinisekisa abasebenzi ababehlanganisene ecaleni kwendlela kufutshane nomkhenkce. "Siza kubeka umkhenkce eluphahleni ukuba kuyimfuneko."
