Ybor City was well-known for its cigar making in the late 1800s.
Immigrants from Cuba and Spain settled there to work for Mr. Ybor in the cigar factories. Often, while a roomful of men were rolling the tobacco into cigars, another person was employed to read to them. Nice touch, don't you think?
The whole area of Ybor City is on the National Historical Registry.
The first picture is Habibi's Hookah Bar. I wish I had stopped to find out exactly what goes on there.
