(29 Nov 2019) Black Friday shoppers in Chicago woke up early to get deals on holiday shopping at the Water Tower Place shopping center downtown. Some shoppers were surprised at the relatively light crowds, which pointed to the ever-growing popularity of online shopping.

The shopping season is the shortest since 2013 because Thanksgiving fell on the last Thursday in November — the latest possible date it could be.
