As of 3:15 am, hundreds of cars were parked outside the Best Buy, Kohl's, Target and other stores at the Marina Dunes shopping center as people lined up for Black Friday deals.
It is the side walk near the front of the line outside Best Buy, a group of teenagers Aromas had been sitting, standing and curling up in sleeping bags since 7 pm Thanksgiving evening.
"It's way, way cold out here," said Lauren Freitas, 16, from the safety of her sleeping bag.
But worth the chill, she and her friends said. What were they waiting to buy once the doors open at 6 am?
"A new laptop, a new TV, a new computer - the whole store," said Katie Bellone, 12,
"We're pre-Christmas shopping," Lauren Bellone, 16, said. "We're getting deals."
Including, they said, a PlayStation 3 video game console for their brother in the U.S. Air Force.
"It's fun," Lauren said Bellone of staying out for Black Friday. "It's a memory. You can look back and say, 'Remember when we stayed up all night just to get some stuff?"
