This day in history

On this day in 1961, the Bel Air Fire, which began as a brushfire, ended up costing $100 million in losses and rampaged through Brentwood and Topanga Canyon, damaging nearly 500 homes and even causing significant damage to local avocado crop. You can read about a fireproof home that has since been built in Topanga Canyon.

Things to do

It may be Nov. 6, but stores and other capitalist institutions are telling us the holidays are basically here and Mariah Carey has officially defrosted. If you're feeling the holiday spirit, then head over to Santa Monica where a frosty treat awaits:

• Ice at Santa Monica Skating Rink: The winter adventure by the sea has returned for the season. Glide and skate across 8,000 square feet of pristine ice within four blocks of the Pacific Ocean. The rink, located on the corner of Fifth Street and Arizona Avenue, has been transformed for the holidays. Admission includes skate rental.
• Or looking to be surrounded by music? Check out: Choir! Choir! Choir! Daveed Goldman and Nobu Adilman (AKA “DaBu”) started Choir! Choir! Choir! in Toronto as a weekly drop-in singing event in 2011. The goal was to create a night of singing, community and a little comedy. Now they travel the world bringing people together to sing great songs. No experience is needed, just show up and they'll teach you the parts to create a community choir. The theme of this week's show in L.A. is "Dreams," focusing on songs by Fleetwood Mac.
