What Was Brick's Biggest Story of 2011?

Blizzard aftermath, referendum, elections and Hurricane Irene among the finalists

Between racking our brains and looking over our site statistics to find the most-read stories of 2011, we combed through the archives to find Brick's biggest story of the year.

But frankly, there were too many big ones to reach a definitive conclusion! This past year was a big one in Brick Township. Between weather, politics, sinking boats and boardwalk mayhem, Brick and the Shore area made our jobs pretty exciting in 2011. Something tells us that 2012 will bring just as many rounds of fireworks.

So here's our list, based on your readership, of 2011's top stories. Make sure to tell us in the comments which issue YOU thought was Brick's (or the region's) biggest.
