“I just got tired of looking at it,” La Jollan Chris Cott said of the graffiti he helps clean up around town. “We live someplace that’s just so nice. It’s just like cleaning your house. It benefits me as much as anybody.”
Cott spends an average of an hour a day cleaning up graffiti he sees while driving around La Jolla for work or errands. He uses his own supplies, which is part of the reason La Jolla resident Sunny Donald nominated him for the
La Jolla Light’s Community Heroes series.
Cott is “an under-the-radar guy,” Donald said. “He’s really kind and compassionate.”
