These 2 local Yborite pioneers, way before GaYBOR was thought of and true artisans that make up today’s historic Ybor City. The 2 are property owners in the historic district, stain glass makers, wrought iron imaginaires, lighting idealist creators and most outgoing and friendly. They started their historic Ybor endeavors in mid 1970’s. Ybor City was more of a bohemian community and so crafty back then.

    The light bridges on 7th Ave were created by the couple along with the artsy iron shank waste trash bins. They are founding members of GaYBOR District since the founding in 2007.

    Always willing to help in local projects and to serve on local committees. Up until this year the couple spent their summers in Pennsylvania.

    Congratulations to Dean & Diane James..
