The neighborhood had features unique among contemporary immigrant communities in the southern United States, most notably its multi-ethnic and multi-racial population. A slow exodus out of the area accelerated after Word War II, leading to a period of abandonment and decay. After decades of neglect, a portion of the original neighborhood was redeveloped into a popular night club and entertainment district.
The neighborhood has been designated as a National Historic Landmark District, and several structures in the area are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 2008, 7th Avenue, the main commercial thoroughfare in Ybor City, was recognized as one of the “10 Great Streets in America” . We cruised through the area and got a few pictures... This was a Wednesday night and was quiet but if your looking for action it is a really hopping place on the weekends... A lot of night clubs and restaurants.
We are really having a GREAT time here at the RV Super Show in Tampa, Florida... There are hundred of vendors temping us to buy all the latest and greatest devices for our recreational vehicles... Also entertainment around every corner. We have entertainment every night in the gathering hall... Some ok and some really good acts.
Until Later
