Clean Up Davis Square

Davis Square is a great place to live.
Lately though it seems to have gotten a little shabby with an increase in littering and graffiti.
 
I'd love to meet up with a few people on a weekend morning (or covertly late at night!) and repaint graffiti on trashcans and doorways, pick up litter, plant flower seeds...whatever it takes to bring a nicer, cleaner environment to where we live.
The city doesn't seem to have the will so let's take the initiative.

One way to deal with graffitists is to put them in touch with the Somerville Arts Council, who may be able to channel their energy into more legitimate work. We've got a number of murals in Somerville that are falling apart, as well as some blank walls (such as the back of the Somerville Theatre) that could use murals.
