With deals abounding and access to stores earlier than ever before, Black Friday brings out both early birds and night owls
With barely enough time to shake off a turkey coma, hundreds of area residents lined up outside big box retailers as early as Thanksgiving afternoon to partake in the tradition of Black Friday. Shoppers, who lined up 100 and 200-deep in front of retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Kohl’s before the stores opened their doors at midnight, ran the gamut of those looking for random deals to others who had mapped out elaborate shopping strategies. Black Friday is widely regarded as the biggest shopping day of the year. Karen Howe of Northville was wrapped in a blanket outside of Office Depot at Haggerty and Six Mile Road in Northville in the hopes of snagging a $350 Hewlett Packard laptop. “My daughter’s computer needs to be repaired and it’s …

After more than seven months of construction, the new bridge opened Wednesday.
Novi Road between 10 Mile Road and Grand River Avenue in Novi has reopened to traffic just in time for the holidays.
