More Raids on Night Spots

Authorities are using a heavy hand on night clubs and massage parlors, raiding locations and shutting them down for licensing violations. The Municipality of San José is being aggressive in it's commitment to the prestigious and established community of Barrio Amon and surround areas.

Yesterday, in two separate, but related, incidents officials raided the New Fantasy massage parlor in Barrio Amon and the newly opened Atlantis night club in La Uruca.
Atlantis had opened it's doors for the first time on Thursday night. A visit to the night spot was greeted by a sign on the front gate "Cerrado Hoy" and when asked, the security guard told a story of electrical problems forcing the club to close indefinetely.

The New Fantasy massage parlor is located in Barrio Amon and residents and community leaders have been up in arms over the past year over the opening of another massage parlor in the community and the transvestites who have overtaken the streets at night.


Johnny Araya, mayor or San José, has promised a clean up of the area and is using licensing and other municipal code issues to close or at least temporarily disrupt those businesses in the area.

In the case of New Fantasy, municipal officials claim that the locale was using a license to host guests and not offer sexual services. In the case of Atlantis, they fall 5 meters short of a law that pretends to move establishments that offer the sale liquor to 400 meters from schools, parks and churches.

Atlantis, according to municipal officials' calculations is only 395 meters from the nearby sports park in La Uruca.
