Hundreds rushed to the Rockaway Mall Thursday night to be the first to check out this year's Black Friday deals and to get a head start on holiday shopping.

The line at Best Buy started a full day before its midnight opening on Friday. Maplewood resident Amanda Meehan was the first to get to the store at midnight on Thursday.

There is nothing being sold that I would consider worth more than spending time with family. No big deal can take the place of loved ones. In a few years the things people bought on sale will be in the trash. When tough times come it is your family that will be there for you. I wish people would realize that and set their priorities better than they do now. People should always come before things. more ›

Our small Main St businesses are bending over backwards to get your attention and give you personal service.... I've rediscovered small hardware stores. Within 5 minutes, I purchased a rare item (a retractable pulley clothesline), chatted with the salesperson, paid for it, and drove away. Try it, you'll like it! My big box days are virtually over; I sure do miss those "downtown" days. more ›
A few dozen people waited outside Toys 'R' Us and Kmart Thanksgiving night.
Shoppers eager to get in on some early holiday deals lined up outside Wayne stores all day and night Thursday. Wanda Jimenez from Paterson was the first in line at Kmart near the Wayne Hills Mall.
