Thanks for the pictures. I love the history of Ybor City. There is a magazine called Cigar City Magazine about Tampa Bay history. It often has pictures like the ones posted. The place has had a tremendous upturn as a tourist spot. It is one of the places I would love to retire in. Thanks again, for the pics!! :thumbs:
