PHOTOS: Black Friday Shoppers Pack Southridge

A New Southridge for Black Friday

Shoppers can get into Southridge starting at 11 p.m. Thursday and wait for stores to open at midnight.

After the final piece of turkey is gone, the last snap of football completed and the inevitable food coma that follows that third helping of pumpkin pie, another Thanksgiving comes to an end for families across the nation. But just because the food and football is over doesn’t mean it’s time to let sleep whisk the rest of the day away. In fact, you might want to set an alarm or make sure one of your family members wakes you up from your slumber so you can get out and enjoy another tradition—Black Friday shopping. “There is an excitement,” said Mary Mokwa, manager of Southridge Mall. “Based on the sales trends we’ve seen this year, there’s a buildup to the holiday season and I think people are going to spending more in addition to enjoying …

Wisconsin Democrats are planning to collect signatures in the Milwaukee area at several stores, including:  Recall supporters won't have any luck at Southridge Mall, said Mary Mokwa, manager of the mall.  Collecting signatures is a form of soliciting, Mokwa said, and the mall allows no soliciting inside of the building or in its parking lot.
