Y'bor City

We visited Y'bor City over Memorial Day weekend.   It's known as Tampa's National Historic Landmark District.  In the 1880's immigrants came from Spain, Cuba, Italy and Germany to inhabit this area.  Many of the early residents worked in the cigar making industry.  Y'bor City was known as the Cigar Capitol of the World until the 1930s.




We spent some time walking around the area, taking in the old buildings and streets.  Now Y'bor City is filled with many different restaurants, touristy shops, cigar shops, and a few random roosters walking around...
