00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is WBC Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it's forty four degrees in Boston at four o'clock.

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm a freedman, and here's what's happening. Health officials

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>lift the bacteria advisory they issued for Sprague Pond earlier

5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 2>this month. They first sounded the alarm weeks ago about

6
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 2>high levels of dangerous blue green algae that were killing

7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>fish in the pond. Health officials closed off the area

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>from the public just to be safe. But now a

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>new test conducted last week finds that the algae levels

10
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 2>are now safe, allowing health officials to lift that advisory.

11
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>This all comes months after waters around the state face

12
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>closures this summer because of unsafe bacteria levels. A Black Friday,

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>shoppers may be deal hunting with a little more urgency

14
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>this year. CBS's Heather Bosch says the President elect proposed

15
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>tarra could do away with the low prices by now

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>or pay more later because of US imposed tariffs. That's

17
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the warning from many US businesses to consumers. President elect

18
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Trump has promised to impose a twenty five percent tariff

19
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>on goods from Mexico and Canada and boost the price

20
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of products from China by at least ten percent. Retail

21
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>experts tell The Wall Street Journal that country's exporting goods

22
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to the US will likely pass on the increased costs

23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>to consumers. Trump believes tariffs will ultimately boost manufacturing in

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the US and convince foreign manufacturers to open plants.

25
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Here.

26
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Heather Bosch CBS News, well, if you are looking for deals,

27
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>there are plenty on new cars and trucks this Black Friday.

28
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 4>No pandemic or chip shortage to worry about this year,

29
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 4>and incentives, while not huge or definitely back. Kelly Bluebook

30
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 4>says there are a lot of no interest financing deals

31
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 4>out there, particularly on GM's full size pickup Crux. Chevy

32
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 4>also has some good lease offers on the outgoing model

33
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 4>of the Equinox small suv. Other vehicles with good deals

34
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 4>include the Honda Cord and SUPERU cross track.

35
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>That was CBS's Jeff Gilbert, Well, it's closing in on

36
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>that time to start heading back home after the holiday.

37
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Jared Brosnan has some tips on how to keep

38
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>you out of a traffic jam.

39
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Here's a look at what Triple A expects will be

40
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 5>the best and worst times to hit the road these

41
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 5>next few days. For Saturday, the best time to travel

42
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 5>is before one pm. The worst is well anytime after that,

43
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 5>but especially between four and eight pm. On Sunday, you'll

44
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 5>want to start your journey well before the clock strikes noon.

45
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 5>It'll be a rough trip between twelve and six pm,

46
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 5>And for those of you making the most of your

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 5>Thanksgiving weekend, you'll want to leave before eight am or

48
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.039
<v Speaker 5>after seven pm on Monday. Jared Brosnan, WBZ Boston Snooze Radio.

49
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>If you thought celebrity lookaliz lookalike contests were over, well

50
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>think again. This time another Marvel superhero gets the spotlight.

51
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Captain America. A Chris Evans lookalike contest is set to

52
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>happen tomorrow at one pm on Boston Common, So if

53
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>you look like Kim you might want to stop by.

54
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Last weekend, we had a Tom Holland lookalike contest also

55
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>at the Common, and hundreds of people showed up. You

56
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>can read more about that one on our website Wbznewsradio

57
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>dot com. Right now, it is forty four degrees in

58
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Boston at four oh four, and it is going to

59
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>start to get a little colder. You know, as it

60
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>gets dark, the temperatures are going to drop and we

61
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>might see a stray shower or two. The low is

62
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty two in Boston this evening, upper twenties in the suburbs.

63
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>But for tomorrow through the weekend, we are going to

64
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>start to see some sun, which is good news. There

65
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>will still be some clouds in the skies and it

66
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>will be pretty chilly out there, with a high of

67
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 2>forty two tomorrow night a low of twenty nine, so

68
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>you're still going to want to bundle up. But as

69
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>for your Monday morning commute, well it's going to be

70
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>mostly sunny with the breeze and cold still though with

71
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a high near forty degrees. Right now, it's forty four

72
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>in Boston at four oh ooh five and two Boston

73
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>residents are accused of stealing mopeds from the same victim

74
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>twice and one day. Police say they arrested Sebatian Faku

75
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of Dorchester and Nikita Struthers of Roxbury Tuesday morning. They're

76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>accused of stealing mopeds from a man and his friend,

77
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>and then stealing them again after the man tracked them

78
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>down and took them back. Fako and Struthers allegedly confronted

79
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the man showing guns during the second theft. They'll face

80
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>charges including assault and battery when they're arraigned in Dorchester

81
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>District Court. Well, it's Black Friday if you haven't heard,

82
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>But if you got up dark and early this morning

83
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>to chase door doorbuster deals, you might not have encountered

84
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>much of a crowd. Wbz's Kendall Buele.

85
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Reports doorbusters, of course what they call the big Black

86
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Friday deals, evoking images of huge and rowdy crowds waiting

87
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>outside when stores open up. But the early birds who

88
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>came to a major box store in Peebdy before sunrise

89
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>found they had plenty of elbow room.

90
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>It's much easier getting in, but there's less deals. Thought

91
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>it would be more hectic, not as chaotic.

92
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 4>This years seems barren.

93
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 1>That last chopper came out with a full carts, but

94
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>says he's still disappointed with this year's Black Friday experience.

95
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>This seems like they opened later than they should usually

96
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and the majority of the stuff they surely have on

97
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>sale at nod And.

98
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just that big retailer cars that the parking

99
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of a major mall nearby were similarly sparse. Whatever

100
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>deals people are finding, the big crowd seemed to be

101
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a ghost of Christmas past from the North Shore. Can't

102
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 1>be able to be a busy Boston's News Radio.

103
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you're wondering about how black Friday came to

104
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 2>be in the first place, John Fink has the details

105
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 2>on that.

106
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 3>One of the first instances of the term black Friday

107
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>described to the Gold Market crash of September eighteen sixty nine.

108
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Black Friday's association with shopping began in Philadelphia in the

109
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 3>mid twentieth century, where police and city workers dealt with

110
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 3>large crowds before the Army Navy football game and the

111
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 3>seasonal sales in the area. The term black Friday was

112
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 3>used by bus and cab drivers to describe the headaches

113
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>caused by the crowds. In the nineteen eighties, retailers popular

114
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the idea that black Friday marked the shift from operating

115
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 3>at a loss to making a profit, although this interpretation

116
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 3>is debated by experts.

117
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm John Fink and Stoneham Police are searching for suspects

118
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in an armed home invasion early Thanksgiving morning yesterday. The

119
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 2>victim told authorities that two suspects armed with knives entered

120
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 2>their apartment on Fallon Road while they were sleeping. They

121
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>allegedly took off with cash and other valuables. They also

122
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>punched the man who was sleeping at the time. Police

123
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 2>say there's no ongoing threat to the neighborhood. One suspect

124
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 2>is described as a black man in a green north

125
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>faced jacket. The other man is white with blue eyes,

126
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>wearing all black. Both were wearing masks on their faces.

127

<v Speaker 2>Anyone with information is asked to contact police. You are
