  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an industrial accident on 10th Ave. near 30th St. in Manhattan, a man down an elevator shaft at 50 West 15th St. in Manhattan, and a homicide at Neck Parkway and 42nd Ave. in Queens.
  • Not only have investigators found hard drives scrubbed clean of potentially damaging e-mail messages related to Troopergate, the Spitzer administration is refusing to even identify the names of the Internet Service Providers that were used to transmit them.
  • There's a new site online for "non-pretentious people who live in Flatbush," or perhaps those who are just interested in the Brooklyn neighborhood.
  • The Sucelt Coffee Shop in Chelsea, Manhattan served its last customers Christmas Eve after 31 years in business. Rents in the neighborhood have skyrocketed and more strictly enforced fire code regulations made owner Jhenny Navarro realize her business was no longer viable.
  • The NYPD will be road testing four electric scooters in January. The move is an effort to reduce pollution and the vehicles will be virtually silent.
  • Salvation Army bell-ringers, whose kettles are a holiday fixture on New York's sidewalks, report that donations are down significantly this year.
  • An entire year's worth of one man's Midtown Lunches in a single photo.
  • In some ways, the people who were affected by the 2004 tsunami will never fully recover from its terrible toll. On the occasion of its third anniversary, however, much has been accomplished to aid the millions of people whose lives were adversely impacted by the disaster.
  • And today is the first day of Kwanzaa.
