Sat behind the bar he eventually confessed himself to be a graffiti writer which is how I know he was telling the truth.  While I can’t say he agrees, I think we were on the same page when I say Leeds is an adolescent city.  Growing up awkward and uncomfortable with a future, but one that it is far from peaceful with.  I think having one of the largest student populations in the UK is a big part of that.  The instability of a relatively small city driven by 1/4 of the population who are yet to be 20 years old, who come and go every year.

Like I said to him I believe in it, I believe in what Leeds will become.  It was the right place for me 10 years ago but people change quicker than places.
