In September, I told you about the plans to renovate sports bar Yankee Doodles at 1410 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica after a fire closed it down.  It appears they have abandoned their plans to re-open.  All signs promising a return have been removed and their Yelp page lists the once popular bar as permanently closed.  And as you can see in the photo, a sports memorabilia pop-up has moved in.
