Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi ʻatikala hou ma New York Times (Iulai 27, 2014) e pili ana i nā huakaʻi a ke kanaka kālepa Vietnam ʻĀkau ʻo Truong Dinh Tran (“Mr. Tran's Messy Life and Legacy”):

Ua alakaʻi ʻo Truong Dinh Tran i kahi ola nui ʻole, ke ʻole ʻoe e helu i ʻelua makahiki i loko o ka hale paʻahao ʻĀkau Vietnamese, e ʻauʻau ana i kona ala i Vietnam Hema, e kūkulu ana i ka waiwai i ka wā kaua, e holo ana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa me kahi pahu piha i ke kālā a me kekahi piha gula. , hoʻokomo iā ia iho a me kāna mau hoa aloha ʻehā a me kā lākou mau keiki i loko o kahi hōkele lumi lumi hoʻokahi ma Manhattan's West Side, e lilo i kumuhana o ka waiwai nui loa o ka federal e pili ana i nā uku lāʻau i ka mōʻaukala ʻAmelika, a laila hāʻawi i $2 miliona i ka American Red. Cross Disaster Relief Fund ma hope o Sept. 11. I kona make ʻana, i ka makahiki 2012, ua haʻalele ʻo Mr. Tran i kahi waiwai i helu ʻia ma ka $ 100 miliona, ma ka liʻiliʻi he 16 mau keiki e nā wahine ʻelima, hoʻokahi wahine i hōʻike ʻia iā ia iho, ʻaʻohe palapala kauoha hope.

Ma waena o kāna mau waiwai waiwai ma New York ʻo ia ka Hotel Carter i koho ʻia ʻo ka "hotel dirtiest in America" no ʻekolu mau makahiki ma ka pūnaewele TripAdvisor.

Ua kūkulu ʻia ka Hotel Carter i ka makahiki 1930 ma ke ʻano he Hotel Dixie e Percy lāua ʻo Harry Uris nā mea hana hale hōkele ma New York City. Ua kūkulu ʻia ʻo Dixie ma ke ʻano he berena a me ka pata, ka hōkele ʻole me nā lumi hoʻokipa liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻohe ona manaʻo hoʻohiwahiwa a ua hana ʻia e hoʻolako i nā lumi maʻalahi ma ka wahi o Times Square. Aia i loko o ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa ma lalo pono o ka papahele alanui. He lumi kali nui i loko o ka pahu kaʻa me kahi keʻena ʻike, nā keʻena kūʻai tiketi, nā keʻena kikowaena, ka waiho ʻana i nā ukana, nā keʻena nānā, ka pā awakea a me nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa. ʻO nā pali no nā kaʻa kaʻa i alakaʻi a mai ke alanui Kanahakūmākolu. He kanakolukumamālima kapuaʻi ka hoʻohuli ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa i loko o ko lākou mau wahi hoʻouka ukana a hoʻohuli iā lākou ke mākaukau e haʻalele.

Ua hoʻohana ʻia ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa no iwakāluakūmāhiku mau makahiki ma mua o kona pani ʻana i Iulai 1957. I kona wā kiʻekiʻe, ua lawelawe ka Central Union Bus Terminal (ma hope o ka Short Line Terminal) i nā kaʻa he 350 i kēlā me kēia lā i nā kau wela. Loaʻa iā ia ka wahi hoʻouka nui loa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia o nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa ma New York me nā puka komo ma ke alanui 42nd a me 43rd Street. Lawe mai ia i ke kaʻa, ka walaʻau a me ka carbon monoxide i ke komo ʻana o ka hōkele, ka lobby a me nā lumi hoʻokipa. Ua pani ʻia ma muli o ka hiki ʻole ke hoʻokūkū me ke kahua kaʻaahi Port Authority hou ma 40th Street a me Eighth Avenue.

ʻO ka Hotel Dixie i hoʻokumu mua ʻia, hoʻolālā ʻia a kūkulu ʻia ma ke ʻano he hōkele hoʻokele waiwai / kālā mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana. Hōʻike kona mau lumi liʻiliʻi i ka manaʻo o kona hoʻokokoke ʻana i ka mākeke Times Square. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻokūkū me nā hale noho haʻahaʻa a me nā hale lumi. ʻO ka maikaʻi loa, hiki ke wehewehe ʻia he hōkele like me ka YMCA me nā lumi ʻauʻau pilikino.

Ua lilo ka Hotele Dixie i nā kaikunāne Uris no ka paʻa ʻana e ka Bowery Savings Bank i ka makahiki 1932. Ua lawe ʻia ka hoʻokele o ka hōkele e ka Southworth Management Company. I ka makahiki 1942, ua kapa hou ʻia ka Hotel Dixie i ka Hotel Carter i ka wā i loaʻa ai ka hōkele ʻo Carter Hotel i ka hōkele a me ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa. ʻO kēia ke ono o ka hōkele ma ka hui Carter a me kāna lua ma New York City.

Hōʻike nā moʻolelo nūhou o New York Times ma hope o ka Hotel Dixie/Carter i ka wā lōʻihi, haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ka hana mākeke a me nā hana paʻakikī.

Ua lele ʻo George R. Sanders o Brooklyn, New York mai ka papahele 14 o ka hōkele ma Malaki 13, 1931. Ua hāʻule kona kino ma ka hale o kahi hale ʻaina hoʻokahi e pili ana i ka Dixie. Ua pae ʻo ia ma nā wāwae o nā mea kūʻai ʻelua o ka hale ʻaina a me ka luna pō. Ua waiho ʻo ia i kahi leka i loko o kona lumi e hōʻike ana iā ia iho a me ka haʻi ʻana i ke kaumaha noʻonoʻo ke kumu o ka pepehi ʻana iā ia iho.

ʻO Olga Kibrick, ke kaikamahine a kekahi luna hoʻokele waiwai Brockton, Massachusetts, ua pepehi iā ia iho ma ka lele ʻana mai ka hale o ka hōkele a hiki i ke kolu o ka papahele ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ka hale, i ʻOkakopa 1931. Ua noho ʻo ia ma ka papahele 21. Ua loaʻa i nā mākaʻi kahi kāleka Brockton Musical Chorus i loko o kona lumi, me ʻumikūmālima keneta o ka loli, kona mau mīkina lima, a me kahi puke ʻeke.

I Kepakemapa 1941, ua puhi ʻia kahi kanaka ʻōpio mai Wayne, Nebraska a make ma hope o ka hiamoe ʻana i ka puhi paka ma ka papahele 12 o ka hōkele. Ua lilo ka moʻolelo i poʻo poʻomanaʻo i ka wā i ʻike ʻia ai ma hope koke o kona hōʻea ʻana, ua loaʻa ʻo Frederick S. Berry Jr. i kahi leka mai kona makuakāne e haʻi ana i kahi manaʻo a kona makuahine no kekahi mea weliweli e hiki mai ana iā ia. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Berry e nā limahana hōkele e noho ana ma kahi noho, me ka ʻaʻahu o kona kino luna i wela loa. Ua make ʻo ia ma hope o ka lawe ʻia ʻana i ka Halemai Roosevelt.

Ua hopu ʻia ʻo Darrell Bossett, he limahana hana ʻole, ma hope o ka hakakā ʻana me nā mākaʻi ma ka lumi ʻehā o ka hōkele ʻo Carter, i Dekemaba 1980. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻo ia no ka pepehi kanaka degere mua a me ka pepehi kanaka degere ʻelua a me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi mea kaua, i ka pana ʻana o Makai Nui o ke Kulanakauhale o Nu Ioka Gabriel Vitale.

Ua pepehi ʻia kahi pēpē, iwakāluakūmālima mau lā a make ma ka hōkele i Nowemapa 1983. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia kona makuakāne, ʻo Jack Joaquin Correa, he hale hōkele, no ka pepehi kanaka a me ka hoʻomāinoino keiki.

Ua hoʻohana ʻo New York City i ka hōkele ma ke ʻano he hale noho ʻole ma Iune 1984. Ua lilo ka puka komo 43rd Street o ka hōkele i wahi e ʻākoakoa ai nā ʻōpio a me nā keiki liʻiliʻi. I ka pau ʻana o ka makahiki 1985, ua hoʻemi nui ka Carter i ka nui o nā ʻohana home ʻole e noho ana i loko o kona mau lumi. Ua emi iho ka nui o na ohana home ole mai 300 a i 61. Ua hoomaka ka hotele e hooikaika i ka hoihoi hou ana i ka poe makaikai. Ua wehe ʻo New York City i nā ʻohana home ʻole a pau mai ka Carter i ka makahiki 1988.

Ma Dekemaba 1991, ua hoʻohana ʻia ka Penthouse Hostel me kahi hoʻolimalima ma ka papa 23 a me 24 o ka Hotel Carter. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka hōʻailona hale hoʻokipa ma lalo o ka pahu Carter. ʻO nā hale noho ma laila i hāʻawi i kahi ʻokoʻa i ka hui ʻo American Youth Hostels.

Ua kūʻai ke kanaka pāʻoihana Vietnamese ʻo Truong Dinh Tran i ka Hotel Carter i ʻOkakopa 1977. ʻO Mr. Tran ka mea nona ka Vioshipco Line, ka hui moku nui loa ma Vietnam Hema i nā makahiki 1970. Ua loaʻa iā Mr. Tran nā ʻaelike nui me ka pūʻali koa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e huki ukana a kōkua i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā tausani o nā kānaka kīwila a me nā pūʻali koa Vietnam Hema, hele mai i US i ka makahiki 1975.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Mr. Tran i kāna ʻoihana hōkele me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka Hotel Opera ma Upper West Side ma Manhattan, a laila ka Hotel Carter a me Hotel Kenmore ma waena o Manhattan a me ka Hotel Lafayette ma Buffalo, New York.

ʻO kā Mr. Tran hoʻokele kūʻokoʻa o ka Hotel Carter ua haʻalele i ka hana maʻamau o ka hōkele ma nā ʻano koʻikoʻi ʻehā.

1. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe wale ʻia nā lumi hoʻokipa ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana. ʻO kekahi hopena o kēia hana, ʻo ia ka hoʻemi ʻia ʻana o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hana, nā ʻili, nā uhi uluna, nā kāwele, ke kopa, ka wai a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻē aʻe. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia i kēia lā he nui nā hōkele e noi i nā malihini e haʻalele i nā pani lole i kēlā me kēia lā.

2. Ua kaupalena ʻia nā pono o nā malihini i nā mea pono wale nō. ʻO kēia hana i hiki ai i ka hoʻokele Hotel Carter ke kūʻai i kāna mau lumi ma kahi kumukūʻai kūʻai ma lalo o $100 i ka pō.

3. ʻO nā lumi o ka hōkele-wale nō ka hana, nā uku haʻahaʻa a me nā wahi maikaʻi loa e hoʻokipa ai i nā huakaʻi malihini, nā haumāna, nā hui SMERF a me nā malihini makaʻala.
