Got a new query for any Spanish speakers, as you were all so helpful earlier! Would absolutely love to find the location of this building, the Centro de Estudios Germinal in San José, Costa Rica, in 1913. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

@elx Thanks! We did see that but we weren't able to find La Rambla. But good idea on possibly contacting the author
OK, with La Rambla as a reference, I can potentially locate it easier. Give me a moment...
OK, there are plenty of bars called "La Rambla" in San José, but there may or may not be a match with this one: 6th Street, 8th Avenue, San José. It being single-floor makes me doubt it's the same place, but the picture was allegedly taken in 1962, so the Germinal center may or may not have been demolished by then. facebook.com/groups/2865735289…
OK, I just asked that Facebook group if somebody can locate which is the "Rambla" that was being referred here. Hopefully I can get some answer.
Alguien de #CostaRica que puede echar una mano por aquí?
Yo soy de Costa Rica, y el centro Germinal me suena, pero no estoy seguro de la ubicación exacta. Quizás pueda enviarle la consulta a alguien
@workingclasshistory It was in "a second floor near La Rambla": https://anarquismoencostarica.blogspot.com/2012/10/centro-germinal.html
The writer José Julián Llaguno Thomas that may be contacted via [aeditoresa at gmail dot com] can shed light:
