The Davis Square Community

Sorry for the victim, hope she was not too scared. I have never had any problems in that area. At times there are some loitering teenagers who seem to have nothing better to do, near the bike ramps. But they've never been rude or anything, just smoking pot or whatever. There is a homeless person who has been sleeping just off the underpass, but he seems innocuous. There used to be a time when graffiti kept appearing, the usual "kill a yuppy" type. But since they've put the unbreakable neons and since they've let kids paint the walls with some graffiti-proof varnish, things have calmed down. I've seen cops waiting in their car near the traffic light to Lowell St, with lights off, occasionally. I think they should do that more often.
