Tbh, anyone who doesn't view the c.2001 "Over the Border" area a bit strange, well I find that strange in itself in all honesty. It was far from a "normal" area; like the parts of the west side of the Leeds city centre, towards the ring road.
That part of Leeds is changed nowadays, and I know there was a lot of public realm work in the pipeline for the Tees banks.
You're assuming incorrectly that the second sentence was intended to be negative; it was a formative time for me and some of the experiences were fantastic.

If you don’t understand the area or like it or feel traumatised don’t go back. Stay in more civilised areas that don’t challenge your values.
