The Daily Mail reported that underground tunnels under Ybor City, a suburb near Tampa, were discovered after being hidden from the general public for decades.

Now, a string of recent discoveries has the city asking questions about what they were used for.

City officials, historians, and the University of Southern Florida first collaborated to map out three tunnels in 2018 after construction crews discovered them while working near an old bottle factory.

USF researcher Dr. Lori Collins shared, “These are quite substantial. I mean, you can stand up and maybe bend over a little bit, depending on how tall you are. But you can certainly travel through them.” . .

The Trafficante crime family had gambling, bootlegging, prostitution, etc going in Tampa as a whole, and Ybor City in particular since the early 1930s. Wouldn't surprise me to learn they were involved to one extent or another.

What would interest me is learning how they kept them dry. The part of Tampa I used to live in is only 3 feet above sea level at high tide. When tropical storms & hurricanes occur, there's no place for the water to go.

They were used by jews for transporting children that were to be molested and/or used in blood rituals. Want to bet they do not send a forensics team down there to investigate?
