Here are five things to start off your day in Los Alamitos and Seal Beach:

1. Seal Beach police on Tuesday asked for the public's help in identifying a man who allegedly robbed the Bank of America on Seal Beach's Main Street on Monday. Click here to see the man's photo and description.
2. If you’re headed to LAX this week, keep in mind that our airport is expected be the busiest in the nation over the 11-day Thanksgiving travel period. Travelers are advised to arrive two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights.
3.  For those who would rather burn calories than money, skip Black Friday and head to Irvine Regional Park. OC Parks’ “Orange Friday” event runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and includes mountain biking, horse riding and hiking. When it gets dark, you can ride the Irvine Park Railroad’s Christmas Train.
