Free comic books at Golden Apple Comics on Melrose Avenue, free admission to the Natural History Museum, free family movies at Brain Dead Studios on Fairfax Avenue: The outpouring of support, care, and hope from cultural attractions in response to the fires has been inspirational.
While several Southern California destinations remain closed over the second week of January, including the Los Angeles Zoo and Descanso Gardens, other places are opening their doors and welcoming people for free.

Vidiots and the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, two sweet-of-heart Northeast LA stalwarts, are teaming up for a pay-nothing Community Day on Monday, Jan. 13.
Head to Eagle Rock and the spirited NELA cinema for complimentary movies in the MUBI Microcinema.
Treats will be provided for the youngsters and their grown-ups, with more special surprises in store: Some of the Bob Baker marionettes will stop by from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., all to summon some smiles.
