An isolated village on South Santa Monica Bay, Manhattan Beach was sparked toward development through the turn of the 20th century by the arrival of railroads. This quaint, upscale jewel of the Los Angeles County coast has been known for cottage-style living, tile-making, and its iconic namesake pier. Recounted in this diverse collection are pioneering efforts, controversies such as the still unsolved 1936 murder of Reid Russell, the vicissitudes of seaside city development, and the roundly held notion of the city's very name as consonant with fun in the sun. Join author Jan Dennis, a former Manhattan Beach mayor, on this illuminating tour through the issues and eras of her beloved city's history.
