The Maine Mall in South Portland was a mob scene for deal-hungry, post-Thanksgiving shoppers.
The line of shoppers seeking Black Friday deals the night of Thanksgiving stretched from the Best Buy entrance all the way around the sidewalk to Sears by the time midnight arrived.
A TV news crew interviews Michael McGovern of Portland, who claimed the first-in-line space by arriving at the Best Buy entrance at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
Midnight shoppers go to great lengths to try to stay warm as they wait in line to take advantage of Black Friday deals.
