Black Friday at ‘The Community Store’

Thanksgiving has passed, which means memories of fighting family members will soon be replaced by images of fighting consumers, pummeling each other inside our nations’ Wal-Marts. But in the 5,000-person town of Saranac Lake, New York, people have a different option. The town opened a community-owned department store, which they named the Community Store. Melinda Little, the president of the Community Store, talks about her town’s efforts to make another kind of shopping experience.
