SHOP LOCAL

The phrase Black Friday was coined by the Philadelphia Poli Department in the 1960s when over eager Christmas shoppers crowded the streets and lawlessness ensued.

Needless to say, the term Black Friday was not originally meant as a term of endearment.

The official opening of the Christmas shopping season, the Friday following Thanksgiving brings traffic jams, overcrowded malls and big box stores and aggressive, frustrated shoppers in long lines, fighting to get their hands on a limited number of discounted “door buster” items. Sounds like fun, right?
