SAN DIEGO
The brass bells tied across the handle of Cleotilde Dimas’ ice cream push-cart rang until their sound echoed down a residential street in Stockton on a recent afternoon.
The familiar jingle captured 3-year-old Anthony Jr. s attention. He crossed the street with his father to pick out a sweet treat.
“Gordo, cual quieres,” Anthony Flores said, asking his son what ice cream he wanted. Anthony Jr. grabbed a lime-flavored ice pop from Dimas’ ice cream cart.
Dimas has been running a micro-business selling cartoon-shaped frozen treats, chocolate ice cream sandwiches, and chips with lime and chili for more than 20 years in the neighborhoods of Stockton, Logan Heights and Grant Hill.

A group of San Diego artists has been working with a variety of materials scarves, wood, chicken wire, old tires to build sculptures that tell stories in an empty lot in City Heights.
The 12-foot, three-dimensional figures are all part of City Heights’ “Characters,” an open-air gallery inhabiting what has been an empty lot on the corner of University Avenue and Interstate 15.
The figures are meant to represent individuals, issues and topics relevant to City Heights.
There’s a sculpture of a man made from used tires, mufflers and automotive fluid containers. It is designed to highlight air pollution issues in the community.
“My kids are scared to even open the door now, Mendoza said. When somebody knocks, they re terrified. They don t even want to go toward the door because they think it s going to be another paper, it s going to be the landlord.
Mendoza told NBC 7 she has offered to pay her landlord 80% of the rent she owes since December, but he has refused. She now faces eviction order No. 3 in just five days.
“I m not leaving, Mendoza said. I don t have a place to go. it s been the hardest nightmare. I wish I could just wake up from it.
That’s where the San Diego Eviction Prevention Collaborative is helping launching Housing Helps, a one-stop resource to support San Diegans struggling to pay rent, stay housed and understand their housing rights during the pandemic.
