In honor of Thanksgiving, tonight I will brave the weather, the endless lines and soccer moms to partake in my first Black Friday experience.
For years I’ve heard horror stories of people being trampled and elbowed as they tried to take advantage of those killer post-Thanksgiving deals. So I thought, why not see what all the excitement is about?
At midnight I’ll be live tweeting from Syracuse’s Carousel Center Mall, one of the biggest retail destinations in Central New York. Follow my Twitter account, @fernalfonso, for updates, photos, GIF images, audio clips and video of all the festivities.
