Malibu was the private domain of one woman 100 years ago. A champion land preservationist and the scourge of squatters and railroad men, May Rindge fought the longest court battle in California history in an attempt to keep coastal Malibu all to herself. She lost it all in the end, but in a sense, she also won.

Greater LA’s regular contributors also sum up 2021 when it comes to dining, art, and Orange County, and share their wishes for the new year.
