The police in San Jose, CA have done a really "great" job in shutting  
down most late evening entertainment in the downtown area. They still  
try to roll up the sidewalks by 11PM with all sorts of harassment  
techniques. Don't ever try to open a nightclub there.

Even if one walks under the influence, they can get you if they want  
- Drunk in Public, WUI - anything...

example (Chico was known as the best "party college/town" for many  
years.)
