Leeds today: a city underground, Unity Day and Bob Marley's son in Leeds

Good morning, Leeds. Today I've got a couple of cracking guest posts. One's on a bid to form a community-owned shop in Leeds city centre following the closure of Simpsons last week. The other's a retort to 'secret' plans for gypsy and traveller sites in Leeds that's incredibly revealing about the traveller community in Leeds - and one you shouldn't miss. I'll also be looking at how photography is helping to bring the poeple of Chapeltown together and, continuing the 'independent Leeds' theme I'll be looking at a meeting which aims to bring city business and community groups together. Here's what's making Leeds tick today Plenty of pictures of Hyde Park's Unity Day have been uploaded onto the Guardian Leeds Flickr group. Check 'em out here ! The Good Dr blog has posted about the event . There are some more pictures from the big day over at stuartsphotographyleeds photo blog. There's an interesting - and very mixed - reaction to the day over at Hyde Park Picture House's Facebook page . You can find my slideshow and brief report here . The company behind the £225m Lumiere scheme off Wellington Street in Leeds, which would have included one of Europe's tallest residential buildings, is set to go into liquidation, reports BBC Leeds . What if Leeds had an underground? That's the question posted over on the What if Leeds... Facebook page. Why not join in the discussion? "Leeds is home to many a hidden gem and certainly when it comes to cinema and a night out at the pictures you couldn't find more compelling settings than the Hyde Park Picture House or Cottage Road Cinema. However, there is one more! and it's tucked inside (the criminally undervalued) Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills." - Emma at The Culture Vulture blogs on Leeds' smallest cinema, Minicine, with just 26 seats.
