Shoppers brave frigid cold to get bargains
By Kay Luna
Bargain shoppers faced frigid temperatures and long lines to get early-bird specials today, one of the biggest shopping days of the year in the Quad-Cities.
What brings these “Black Friday” shoppers out in droves every year? Bargain prices and tradition, several said as they hauled fistfuls of shopping bags and boxes to their cars Friday morning.
“We’re called insane,” said Vicki Edmunds of Orion, Ill., who fought the crowds before dawn with her husband, Bob Edmunds, at Younkers in SouthPark Mall, Moline. “It’s been crazy.”

Thats what it talked about with me too.
Ok, that's weird...before when I clicked the link it had the hostage story, but I tried it again and got the black friday story. hmm...
:confused:
The page must change daily, she needs to re-link the story.
That's pretty amusing though...the police ushered you guys in the house to take care of the crazy bargain shoppers. Makes sense, I guess. :p
Ok.... glad I am not crazy and just not getting it...
hmm. . not working right for me either. .
LMAO That's what I honestly thought at first and was like '....wow. You must not get a lot of stuff happening at your town!' until I read the other replies hahaQuote:

I could not read the story either, but I assume there was a hostage situation or something, scarey stuff all right.
