I was in Negril in January and was also looking for Mason. All of the vendor stalls on Mason's side have been removed and a few of them have been replaced by metal fabricated "huts". Mason's space is empty. According to the ladies who occupy several of these huts, Mason will return to the same location once his metal hut has been built. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this, but that is what I was told. Those silver metal huts get very hot and were like ovens in January. Unfortunately, the vibe in Mason's place won't be easily replaced whether he returns to his new metal hut or not.
