There may be no more iconic sound on the south side of Milwaukee than the bells from a paletero’s cart. Those are the street vendors who sell paletas, or popsicles. But have you ever wondered, what is the job like? And who does it?
Paula Lovo is a Milwaukee artist and educator who grew up on the south side and documented a paletero's story. She also shares her love of paleteros and their connection to the community she grew up in.
