La Setima or La Septima, 5 Years Ago Ybor News
History and a story that no other community would drag on for a street name. The 2 culprit words that offended many La Setima & La Septima groups which both mean 7 in Spanish. The battle went right from local merchants and YCDC to the top of Tampa’s leadership and Tampa City Council for a crucial vote. What to officially name Ybor City’s 7th Ave?
Well, after 5 years past this month, a major debate had to settle the argument of the so called right way to call the famous “7th Ave Main Street” in Ybor.
Solution? Put both names on all the 7th Ave street signs. So if someone ever asks you why the famed 7th Ave in Ybor has 2 names. Just tell them….a local ethnicity compromise!

The outcry play is based on the 1998 hate crime murder in Laramie, Wyoming, gay college student Matthew Shepherd. The murder was denounced as a hate crime and brought national attention to GLBT community for the lack of hate crime laws in various states, including the murdering state, Wyoming.
