Top Stories Of 2011

Each year, we take a look at the top stories of the year.  I find it refreshing to take a look back at the news and events that kept our attention. Unfortunately, 2011 was a tragic year that saw the loss of too many young lives. The year saw hatred at its worst when the Westboro Baptist Church held a protest at Meade Senior High School.  The Blue Angels were canceled and may not return and that are lost a great benefactor in Don Riddle.

Eye On Annapolis was the first to break many of these stories–the drowning death of Olivia Constants, the passing of Don Riddle from Homestead Gardens, a Route 2 traffic ramp collapse, and the recent violence at Westfield Annapolis over Nike Air Jordan Concord sneakers.

Rather than pick the top ten or twelve, we decided to cut it off this year based on the number of times each story was actually read. It seemed to be a better indicator to us. All of these have been read at least 8,000 times with the the story of the tragic death of Olivia Constants being read more than 20,000.
