2011 in was a year of doings and undoings, actions and inaction in the Beach Cities. The Easy Reader each year takes a year-end look at the people and issues that passed through our pages. This year, in addition to the Year in Review compilations for Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach, we singled out 11 stories, including three people whose actions significantly impacted the community, the top issues that commanded each respective city’s attention, and the community leaders who passed away in 2011.
