[edit] Nightlife

The nightlife section is incomplete, mentioning 4 major locations and detailing only one. i don't know what other locations are, maybe Escazú, Santa Ana, and some other. alf 15:16, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

It also talks almost entirely about Prostitution. I'm sure there is more to San Jose than this! User:Cryocone

I moved the nightlife info to the nightlife section. Lagringa 09:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gay scene

Live and let live??? Do you live here? Costa Ricans are too far from an equalitarian and tolerant culture. Maybe it's more open than other Central American countries, but it doesn't mean that there's not a conservative atittude toward race, religion and sexual preferences.

The gay scene is almost underground. Even if I don't belong into any minority, I can clearly see that. You'll never see homosexual couples kissing or even walking by the hand before 10 pm. Try finding a job stating that you're gay if you still believe there's any tolerance; maybe after 10 pm in some spots in the city the gay community can feel comfortable, but just then. I think 66.134.249.44's edit adds no true information about the city. alf 15:47, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I have removed it. It said San Jose is also home to a vibrant gay nightlife scene and is know throughout Central and South America as the gay capital of Central America. Ticos are a friendly, live and let live culture (though some evangelical elements hate this)....pura vida is the national expression, a phrase that is a toast to life. It certainly isn't known throughout CA as the gay capital of CA, and alf (who clearly knows what he is talking about) confirms my own albeit brief impressions of San José. Generally CR struck me as a very conservative society, SqueakBox 16:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary Words On This Page

I took off these words from this page:

CASHMERE MONEY BAGZ==

and

SHILOH BOYZ

They were unnecessary to the article.

I've Taken off "Sara is cool"

[edit] Nightlife

A street known as the Calle de la Amargura in San Pedro near the University of Costa Rica, with a wide selection of bars, restaurants and discos. Its proximity to the University and its young, economical inactive students makes this area offer food and drinks for relatively low prices. But beware, pickpockets and low-level criminals roam this place.

I don't know why the "warning" (but beware) needs to be added. It's an article, not a tourist guide or a warning memo. It would be more adequate to say: Pickpockets and low-level criminals are known to roam this place.
