Shop owners on picturesque Pandrosou street in Plaka [1], Athens, have started a virtual community initiative with a blog [2] and Facebook page [3]. They aim to “rebrand the image of Greece into one that reflects collaborative cooperation, innovation and honest hard work”. With their most recent project, they hope to inspire others to reclaim the beauty of pedestrian streets of the degraded downtown and historical center of Athens; enjoy some photos of the newly colored street here [4].
