YBOR CITY HISTORIC DISTRICT (Tampa) Tampa's historic Latin Quarter, YBOR CITY, covers two hundred acres one mile northeast of downtown Tampa. Despite the decline of the cigar industry after 1920 and vast urban renewal destruction in the 1960's, there's enough of the buildings and atmosphere of Vicente Martinez Ybor's multiethnic manufacturing town, the first in the South, to interest visitors of all ages. In recent years there has been a tremendous revival of development along Ybor City's colorful main artery, SEVENTH AVENUE, as new restaurants, stores, nightclubs, and art galleries have returned Ybor City to its original status as the nighttime entertainment center of the Florida West Coast. HOW TO GET THERE: If traveling west of I-4 to Tampa, take Exit 1 on Interstate 4 and cross the first traffic light at 22nd Street, then turn left (southward) on 21st Street. If traveling east on I-4, take Exit 1 and turn right on 21st Street. Seventh Avenue is sixth blocks south of the Interstate.
