This day in history
On this day in 1957 a round of destructive Santa Ana winds which started on November 21 ended. The winds produced a 28,000 acre brush fire on a 40-mile front west of Crystal Lake in the San Gabriel Mountains. People were ordered off the streets in some areas due to flying debris.

Things to do
A Holiday film classic is hitting the stage once again beginning today through the New Year:
- Love Actually Live: The multimedia concert celebration of Richard Curtis' beloved film returns to the Wallis, in time for the holidays — and the film's 20th anniversary. Actors, singers and a live orchestra perform soundtrack faves including “Christmas is All Around,” “Trouble With Love," and “Both Sides Now.” Rex Smith returns as Billy Mack, the character played so memorably by Bill Nighy.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
