Beneath Ybor City in Tampa, Florida, lies a hidden network of tunnels that most residents have likely never seen. This underground infrastructure has become the main urban legend in the area over time, with multiple theories competing to explain what purpose it may have served.
Alcohol smuggling, human trafficking, and safe passageways to move cash are some of the rumors associated with the series of tunnels, estimated to be two or three in total.
One of the last known access points for the tunnels, located under a Blue Ribbon grocery store near 7th Avenue and 15th Street, burned down in 2001, city officials told News 6.
