Patch Question of the Week: Do you love these annual shopping day extravaganzas? Or avoid them like the plague?
They've become such a part of the American economic scene their names are instantly recognizable: Black Friday. Cyber Monday. And the more recent addition, Small Business Saturday, which tries to make sure locally-owned businesses don't get forgotten in the holiday shopping frenzy.

Northlake Mall will be opening at 4 a.m. Friday and Perimeter Mall will kick off Black …

Start your holiday shopping at locally owned stores during Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on. American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Southwest Atlanta. More and more big chain stores are starting to pop-up on Cascade and Camp Creek and that is a very welcomed sign, but we also want to support the small businesses owned by our friends, family, and neighbors. Last year, 100 …

West End businesses say neighborhood shoppers wait until Christmas week.
Editor's Note: Cascade Patch celebrates its first anniversary this month. This piece, by Janita Poe is today's "Our First Year" feature. It first ran on Dec. 3, 2010 and also is a tribute to Small Business Saturday. While holiday shoppers began flooding department stores and shopping centers across the metro area this week, the small gift shops and boutiques in the Historic West End have remained relatively quiet. Business owners and managers in The Mall West End and on Lee Street and Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard say shopping is never busy in their district during the start of the holiday season because the shops attract primarily lower-income buyers who put holiday buying off until a few days before Christmas. "While the Lenoxes and …
