San Jose
We had to put this pic up to show you how addresses are given in Costa Rica - there are no road names (or, if there are, nobody knows them) so all addresses are given as metres from a well-known landmark.. 100m is a block (no matter how big the block actually is) - so 250m from something means 2 1/2 blocks... Sometimes the famous landmarks that are used are actually not there any more! You can just imagine how badly this system works out for travellers who don't know the city....!
