It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Commerce . . .

Everywhere we go, the Christmas decorations are in full bloom. Erik took this picture on a break the morning of Black Friday* at Columbus Circle. It was a lot busier than it looks, trust us.

*Contrary to popular belief, this it is not named Black Friday because people tend to die during crazy early bird stampedes at local electronics stores. Rather, it is named Black Friday because traditionally companies ran such tight margins all year that this is the first day they were "in the black." Karen only expects fellow business d-bags to get this reference. Sorry to everyone who is cool and not enslaved by "The Man."
