It wasn’t that long ago that Santa Monica Canyon staple, Sam’s by the Beach went belly up in its location at 108 W Channel Rd.  Since then, I’ve been watching to see what would take over the location.  An ABC application posted on the front lists the new business as Mason.  According to the application, the people behind Mason are Change the Channel LLC.  I’ve tried to dig up more information on the mysterious enterprise, but there’s not much out there yet, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see…
