Day after Thanksgiving sale

The Thanksgiving holiday comes on the fourth thursday of November, the following Friday is called the Black Friday and its the biggest sales event of the year. Since christmas is close most people buy their christmas gifts around this time and the retailers heavily advertise discounts to attract the crowd. It's sort of a mad gold rush where people line up infront of stores since 4 am and the stores open at 6 am.

I took this picture around 5:00 am in the morning infront of Circuit city, the line trippled when I passed the store again at 5:45 am

Best Buy store had by far the biggest line I saw today, this picture was taken around 5:20 am and there was already a quarter mile long line infront of the store.

I felt sorry for Office Depot, they are really close to my appartment and at 6:00 am when they opened their doors there were hardly 14 people standing in the line. I went inside too but didn't find anything worth buying :)

Note: These pictures were taken in quite a hap-hazard way without a tripod. I had to digitally alter them to improve picture quality, therefore i am not including the camera settings I used here.
