Good morning, Savannah! Like many of you, the Patch team is taking some time off to enjoy the holidays, so there will not be a newsletter in your inbox tomorrow. We appreciate your understanding of this slight pause in our schedule, and I will be back on Monday with the next edition of the Savannah Daily! Now, here's everything happening around town today.
First, today's weather:
Nice with plenty of sunshine. High: 69 Low: 48.
Here are the top three stories today in Savannah:

The Floyd Adams Jr. City Services Complex costs $43 million, and it is the step in the city's plan to move staff into city-owned buildings.
