A large crowd waits to purchase their items at Target in the Coral Ridge Mall on Friday, November 28, 2008 -- more colorfully known as Black Friday. Shoppers here said that although the ailing economy may cause them to cut back some this year, it didn't stop them from coming out on the traditional day after Thanksgiving shopping day.
