A piece of Ybor City legacy is returning Wednesday, just in time for Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. "Not a lot of people know who Salvador Martinez Ybor was. His name is something that is so central to Ybor City and to Tampa," said Tampa Councilman Luis Viera. Now Salvador's name is getting some recognition. Councilman Viera uncovered the grandson of Ybor City's Founder, Vicente, by accident earlier this year.
