Nice post,
FredH about Arch Rock and Castle Rock. I didn't know about those. I'm wondering if that's where the name of Castle Rock films came from? (Rob Reiner's company, I believe.)

From a January 28 article this year:
According to [Chart House] employees, the seafood-oriented Mastro's will replace Chart House right by Topanga Canyon, which occupies a print pot of beachfront property. [I'm assuming they mean "prime spot."]
Mastro's was just recently acquired by Landry's, which owns Chart House, so this all makes sense. Mastro's Ocean Club Malibu is looking to launch in April.
Another search says that Mastro's Ocean Club opened August 7th. Of this month.
An additional search tells me:
Rob Reiner named the company "Castle Rock" in honor of the fictional Maine town that serves as the setting of several stories by Stephen King (which was named after the fictional Castle Rock in Lord of the Flies).
