Party district located about 3 miles NE of downtown Tampa. It is a little bit ghetto and can sometimes have some low lives, but there is a lot to do there. Lots of decent-high end clubs (Ampitheater, Fuel, Prana, etc), nice restaurants (Carmines, Columbia), and some fun little shops (sunglass hut, claires, starbucks). Also the best arcade ever (Gameworks) and a movie theater that has a full bar (Muvico Ybor). It DOES get old if you go three times a week but if you go sparingly, is really a great place.

A magical place located in the historic district of Tampa, Florida. Bright lights illuminate the streets, hookah smoke softens the atmosphere, "Batman" protects the pedestrians, and drag queens grace the cobblestoned roads.

Downtown Tampa, Florida. The hot spot for hoochies, criminals, and stoners. The weapon of choice for assault seems to be the pocket knife, as usually when assault occurs (which is almost daily) somebody ends up with a blade in their ass. Its really only known for bars and clubs, you're not gonna find anything else there.

A person who grew up on the mean streets of Ybor City in the 1940's and 1950's who caused trouble around the neighborhood, commonly known nowadays as a hooligan. This person, in his teen years, enjoyed wearing white t-shirts all the time with the sleeves rolled up. He went through his teens and 20's, basking in the light of his self-proclaimed Elvis look alike image, although who would really want to brag about resembling a rock and roll star who had overgrown sideburns, was hooked on drugs, and died of an overdose. this person ends up joining the army, gets stationed in Germany, and meets the local flan, jager, and beer hoarder. He ends up kidnapping the Nazi lover back to the US where he, still to this day, enslaves her. They end up married, have a daughter and an absolutely awesome son...despite his flaws. These days, this "cool kitty from Ybor City", is not so cool anymore. He tells bad jokes, thinks he knows everything, and hates Robin Williams, although he is a closet metro sexual. In closing and despite all his flaws, he is still the best father someone could ask for.
