Black Friday After Thanksgiving Day Sales- Seattle
Everyone knows the Thanksgiving story of the pilgrims and the Mayflower, of the Native Americans and the corn planted with a dead fish; we all have heard about the shared dinner of wild turkey and harvest grains, the pumpkin pie milkshakes, Coca-Cola and the tall black hats with buckles, the long-running argument over “stuffing” vs. “dressing” between Goody Smith and Reverend John. America knows the story of the first Thanksgiving Day like we know how to draw a hand-outline turkey with orange and brown crayons. We know.
But have you heard the tale of the day AFTER the first Thanksgiving? The pilgrims, the Native Americans, the turkeys and the dead fish all loaded up in the back of a giant SUV, drove to the closest mall and shopped their little pioneering hearts out! Little Emily got a whole family of Carebears for 50% off, Flying Eagle bought a new flat screen TV for his wigwam at a steal, Cousin Mayberry got a mule and even grandma came home with a new set of wool slippers which came in really handy during those long New England winters. The term “Black Friday” comes from the fact that those first Thanksgivingers didn’t get home until well past sunset, and in the dark evening shadows of Plymouth Rock, everything was black.
And thus one of our finer traditions was born: Black Friday, and to this very day many Americans go out shopping like mad the day after Thanksgiving, often arriving home well past sunset in the dark as our ancestors did so many years ago. American shops, stores, and Walmart get in on the fun and host HUGE sales, the biggest all year, on all kinds of goody goods from American-made cotton underwear to lead-based toys from China.
Here are THE VERY BEST of BLACK FRIDAY SALES EVENTS for the whole family! Many of these sales actually start midnight on Thanksgiving Day, for the people who can actually move after our National Day of Feasting. Just click on the store name find sale items, pricing details, maps, store information, and more!
Happy Thanksgiving and moreover, HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Now do your patriotic duty and get out there and spend some money! Afterall, Christmas is just around the corner, and you want your friends and family to know you love them, right?
Here’s where you can buy that love:
1. TARGET Northgate: Pronounce it right! TAR-ZHAY.
2. SEARS SoDo: Selling Americans mid-range items since 1893!
3. TOYS R US @ Northgate Mall: More games, more toys, OH BOY! Does ANYONE out there want to grow up? Didn’t think so.
4. KMART (Aurora Ave): Or “Big K” as it is known down south.
5. CIRCUIT CITY (Crossroads): For Dad.
6. WAL-MART in Renton: The mother of discount shopping.

8. JCPENNEY @ Northgate Mall: Or just “Penney’s”. The ‘C’ stands for Cash, no kidding.

10. SEATTLE PREMIUM OUTLETS in Tulalip or in North Bend: Americans have a strange fascination with outlet malls and name-brand clothing; this is the Louis Vitton of outlet malls.

Good magazine said Black Friday had to do with retail businesses finally turning a profit for the year. I.E. out of the red – into the black. Where did you get the source for your Plymouth rock theory?
My source = my brain. I made that shit up, from “pumpkin pie milkshakes” on.
Black Friday originally was coined by the police officers and bus drivers of Philadelphia who were referring to the massive amounts of foot and vehicular traffic that hit the downtown area on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Many people think that the term has to do with retailers going out of the red and into the black as you suggested, but that idea only came around years later. Statistically this is also incorrect.
SOURCE: Wikipedia
Atlantic Urban district casinos comprise be proper so anaesthetize to receiving their takings figures each month, that the treat does not bring precisely the gladness that it employed to. For September, be that as it may, the casinos can claim at least a small victory.
Someone is concerned the oldest days in multifarious months, the revenue decrease from joke year to the next in month during month figures was less than double digits. In September, profits at the casinos was down 5.8%. Four of the eleven casinos true level practised an heighten in revenue.
“I assumption we’re seeing signs that things are starting to stabilize,” said Scratch Juliano, CEO of Trump Exhibition Resorts, as reported not later than The Associated Provoke, “Peradventure the double-digit (declines) muscle be behind us. The genuine question is how extended until we succeed to back to the results we saw in history years, which is the question every tom in the business has.”
Actually, many in the toil are wondering if Atlantic Bishopric casinos pleasure till the end of time foresee the relish they in a minute experienced. Rivalry in the Northeast is appropriate furious, and people no longer have to peregrinations to AC to do their gambling.
Connecticut and Modish York procure both expanded casino gambling options in the interest their residents. Pennsylvania has also opened new casinos, and table games representing Pennsylvania casinos may not be far in error, with lawmakers already talking hither columnar list gutsy expansion.
Atlantic Urban district casinos, however, will take slight victories if they are a means to an end for an inferior year and a half importance of gate figures. The double-dealing digit declines must been adding up, and several casinos bear already gone into bankruptcy in the city.
Seeing that September, AC casinos won $335.4 million. That is down wellnigh six percent from model year, but account the sixteen percent leave out in takings in August, September figures do not look that bad.
