Poll: The Biggest Martinez Story of 2011

From vanishing beavers to squabbles over cannabis dispensaries, it was a good year for Martinez news.

With only a couple days left in the year, we thought it was time to revisit the Martinez stories of 2011 that garnered the most attention. Some issues, such as the debate over redeveloping downtown and the fate of the marina are hardly unique to this year. It’s a safe wager that we’ll be talking about both those topics in 2012. Then there are the headlines we don’t want to ever see again. Of course, our favorite stories are the ones that we can file under “Only in Martinez.”

What do you think was the biggest Martinez story of 2011? Take our poll.
