'ybor city wasn't always a backdrop for 'girls gone wild' videos. in its first incarnation, ybor (pronounced ee-bore) city was home to the huge cigar factories that dominated tampa's economy at the turn of the 20th century. the cuban and spanish migrant workers who filled the streets have long since moved on, but much of their legacy remains. poke your head in the columbia restaurant's cigar store (813-247-2469) before 5 p.m. to catch workers hand-rolling cigars. afterward, take a stroll down brick-lined seventh avenue, filled with boutiques, cafes and lively outdoor bars. bikers, suits, college kids and tourists flock to the happy hour scene for a laid-back beer before the hard partying late-night set takes to the streets.''
