Ybor City

Ybor City - Several shots of the Ybor City section of Tampa, Florida. Ybor has seen many changes over the years. While I don't usually promote Wikipedia, you can get a decent (though brief) idea of the changes and general feel of the place by clicking here.

Note: For a decent history of Ybor City, I recommend Gary Mormino's book The Immigrant Word of Ybor City: Italians and Their Latin Neighbors in Tampa, 1885-1985.

Finally Tampa Bay Times writer Jeff Klinkenberg's article about Gary Mormino's retirement is a must read.

Two more photos from Ybor City were posted on February 12.
