residents protest mass eviction from sweetwater mobile home park we dont know what to do

Residents of the sprawling Li'l Abner Mobile Home Park in Sweetwater became outraged after receiving a letter ordering them to move out by May 19 as the park closes for redevelopment.

That led them to protest Tuesday evening.

According to real estate website MHVillage , Li'l Abner was built in 1968 and contains more than 900 lots. It's located between Flagler and Northwest Seventh streets.

People living there said they were caught off guard.

"My mom started crying a lot because we don't have the money to go out to another place and we weren't expecting it -- at least not until I finished college," resident Orelvis Gonzalez said. "But now it's like, plans got ruined and we have to go. It's like we don't know what to do."
