The group plans to build residential buildings and rental units. But due to 650 Indiana Investment, LLC\u2019s failure to get proper permits on time, Caf\u00e9 Cocomo will remain open for approximately two more months before relocating to 2801 Leavenworth Street in Fisherman\u2019s Wharf.<\/p>\n<p>Cesar\u2019s Latin Palace, which has relocated several times over the years, moved into the Mission District in the 1970s before settling in the Dogpatch in August of 2013, where it spent its final run until its closure on Aug. 24, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Its owner Cesar Ascarrunz, 79, has said he does not plan to open another club, and will instead focus on taking care of his seven-year-old son, family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>With well-known places for salsa relocating or closing, the question that arises is whether salsa is still a popular form of night entertainment or if it\u2019s lack of interest has led to these clubs\u2019 relocations and closures.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Jacobs, salsa instructor at Caf\u00e9 Cocomo since 1998, partially blamed the economy. \u201cThe recession hurt [salsa],\u201d he said. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been as strong, but [it\u2019s still] very vibrant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ascarrunz disagrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Latin music is going down,\u201d said Ascarrunz. \u201cPeople aren\u2019t patronizing. The young people, ages 20-35, aren\u2019t going to nightclubs. They\u2019re going to concerts and neighborhood bands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSan Francisco was the base of Latin music in the late 70s, all of the 80s, and part of the 90s. It was the capital of the salsa and Latin music,\u201d Ascarrunz continued. \u201c[But] salsa is gone. No more Tito Puente.

Plus, the size of the venues will be a lot smaller. We\u2019re talking about places that fit like 50 people versus 800 people [at Caf\u00e9 Cocomo],\u201d said Margolin.<\/p>\n<p>Orellana, however, is not worried about small venues or the popularity of salsa. \u201cMany dance at smaller venues. It\u2019s a cozy feeling at smaller bars and dance studios,\u201d said Orellana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne place will close and another place will open\u2026Music has grown so much, but clubs are closing not because of a lack of support, but because housing prices,\u201d said Orellana. \u201cThere are [salsa] clubs and bars opening in San Jose, Belmont, [and] Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wanigatunga plans to keep salsa a part of his new club and have salsa music and classes from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the week and salsa evenings on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salsa dancing has been a huge part in San Francisco\u2019s nightlife scene in the past, but that scene is changing as two big salsa clubs, Cesar\u2019s Latin Palace and Caf\u00e9 Cocomo are closing and relocating, respectively.
