Happy Campers Wait for Black Friday
Best Buy in Cuyhoga Falls has a little tent city springing up, undeterred by rain and wind.
Those tents on the sidewalk in front of , 445 Howe Ave., aren't a display for summer camping fun.
Those are actual campers waiting for the arrival of Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the traditional kickoff to Christmas shopping season.
Generators hummed and the wind whipped the tents as I talked to one of the campers hunkered down on a blustery Wednesday afternoon.

Jonas Allooh has been a Black Friday camper for a couple of years now. His friends started even longer ago, so maybe they're creating a new holiday tradition of sorts.
I cruised over to Fairlawn and Bath to see if any similar camps were springing up, but there were none as of Wednesday afternoon. Maybe they're just not as motivated for early bird bargains.
