Jo-Ann, retro-looking Black Friday ad

With all the Black Friday hype that seems to grow every year, it's nice to see at least one retailer has an old-fashioned looking Black Friday ad at least! And it even appears Jo-Ann will be closed for Thanksgiving, avoiding the annoying recent tactic of retailers opening after dinner (or earlier) on Thanksgiving itself to try and get the jump on the competition. At the current rate, Black Friday will start after trick or treat time on Halloween a few years from now!

 

The term Black Friday originated in Philadelphia in the early 60's, and carried a negative connotation back then: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_%28shopping%29#Origin_... Hmmm, negative connotation? So in other words, nothing's really changed in all these years!
