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.
