San Juan, Loud & Obnoxious
It is after 3:00 AM and the Stop & Go Bar across from the La Concha Resort at Ashford & Magdallena in San Juan, Puerto Rico is still going as loud and obnoxious as ever. We thought that we had arrived in a paradise, but were woken up during the early morning hours to Hell; where the local mayor and police have no desire to create an enjoyable vacation environment for tourists. Unlike most places of business along Ashford Avenue, The Stop & Go caters mostly to local patrons who like to intimidate the many tourists whose vacation dollars help finance their decadent life style. This bar is a prime example of the lack of discipline and control that exists in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I’ve been around the world and I can say that even Bangkok is much more civilized than San Juan! The police have no desire to enforce civil order and blatantly ignore all signs of civil disorder and disobedience.
