I have gone to Ybor City for many years and looked forward to going back again after 18 years. What a disappointment. It wasn't like it used to be. I know nothing stays the same, but we all hope things will get better. In the case of Ybor City, that wasn't the case. Gone were the quaint little shops that... More

I was expecting more from Ybor City. We went in the afternoon, cruised around then decided to come back later. The atmosphere was much more lively at night. If it's shopping you are looking for, you will be disappointed.

The area went into decline with the loss of... More
