Chollas Creek
Chollas Creek

Chollas Creek is an urban creek in San Diego County, California, United States, that drains to the San Diego Bay. It is also referred to as Las Chollas Creek. Chollas Creek arises in Lemon Grove and La Mesa, where its four branches begin. It empties into the Bay at Barrio Logan. The creek is 30 mi (48 km) long. The creek splits into two main forks and may be dry during the Southern California dry season.: 2–1  Multiple plant, animal, and aquatic wildlife species live in or around the creek, including the rare plants Juncus acutus leopoldii and Iva hayesiana, and the threatened Coastal California gnatcatcher.: 22 The creek has been in existence since before 1500 BC, and it was used by the Kumeyaay, who had a village by the creek.: 9 : 43  By 1841, the Kumeyaay village was no longer present on the creek.: 35  The creek has flooded several times, affecting people living nearby. Portions of the creek have been armored or channelized.: 1  A dam was constructed on a tributary in the early 20th century, forming Chollas Reservoir. The presence of the reservoir led the United States Navy to construct the Chollas Heights Navy Radio Station to the north.The Chollas Creek valley has been described as "one of San Diego's most neglected watersheds." For decades the creek has been plagued by pollution, illegal dumping, and the destruction of natural habitats. It is an "impaired" water body because of high levels of pollutants. In 2002, the City of San Diego began a plan to rehabilitate the creek. In 2021, a plan to make the creek area into a regional park was adopted.

Shelltown, San Diego
Shelltown, San Diego

Shelltown is a neighborhood located within Southeast San Diego, approximately 5 minutes from downtown San Diego by car and 25 minutes by bicycle. It is bordered by National City on the south, Interstate 5 and Barrio Logan on the west, 43rd Avenue (a continuation of Highland Avenue) on the east, and Gamma Court and the neighborhood of Southcrest on the north. Prior to the 1980s the northern border of Shelltown was National Ave and many residents still consider that the northern border.Due to the predominance of shells in the sandy soil, the neighborhood became known as "Shelltown." Located on a plateau just north and east of the 32nd Street Naval Station, Shelltown was a favorite location of housing for many of the early naval officers. Their ships were visible from their homes and were only moments away in the event they were called to duty The majority of Shelltown consists of residential homes built between 1920 and 1969. The Naval Base San Diego, an industrial park, and some commercial buildings are located just outside the western border of Shelltown along Main Street. Mexican Americans have a long history in the area and began living in the area as early as the 1910s. With the great influx of Filipino immigrants joining the United States Navy, especially from the Vietnam War era on to the 1990s, many Filipinos inhabited the Southeast San Diego neighborhoods of Alta Vista, Bay Terraces, Paradise Hills, Shelltown, Skyline Hills, and Valencia Park, both for the relatively affordable housing prices and its close proximity to Naval Base San Diego.Shelltown/Southcrest contains a large mural, which is one of three by several artists that were done near three Southeast San Diego neighborhood entrances. Local activist and muralist Mario Torero was the lead artist for the Alpha Street piece.San Diego’s Southcrest Trails Park is located just north of the Shelltown neighborhood within the Chollas Creek floodplain, part of the smallest watershed in San Diego and containing the highest population density. The Park itself is located south of Boston Avenue and west of South 38th Street. The park was scheduled to be completed in December 2012 An upgrade to the park was started in March 2017 and was completed on Spring of 2018.
