While some predict a slowing of home foreclosures in 2011, not everyone is so sure.
When it comes to real estate predictions, the 2011 foreclosure situation seems to be anyone's guess. At least, that's what officials in the Florissant community think. Carol O'Mara, the City of Florissant's Director of Housing and Community Development, said that foreclosures have persisted. If nothing else, however, today's foreclosures have different causes than at the beginning of the economic downturn in 2008, she said. "A lot of the foreclosures that we're seeing now are not due to predatory lending," O'Mara said. "It's due to job loss. That's probably the biggest thing." The city is doing its part to turn the local housing market around through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. With funds from the State of Missouri, Florissant …

Starting at 12:01 a.m., shoppers set their sights on saving the bank through Black Friday deals.
It's the busiest shopping time of the year. The day after Thanksgiving where people line up outside of the doors way before the business even opens - Black Friday. Florissant has a number of stores with varying opening times, and we're covering the biggest ones in town. The earliest opening in the area came at 12:01am at GameStop. Teens and parents lined three storefronts nearby GameStop for its early morning opening to get their hands on pre-owned game systems and their games. We spoke to a few Black Friday first-timers as well as more professional Black Friday shoppers about their expectations and what they're out to buy.

Department stores continue to pull in crowds at Jamestown Mall.
Jamestown Mall might show signs of diminish throughout most of the year, but even it has proven successful on Black Friday. The two biggest remaining stores of the mall, Macy's and JC Penney Outlet, hosted a number of early morning sales on Black Friday. JC Penney Outlet opened its doors at 3:30 a.m., but customers started lining up outside of its main doors as early as 2:30 a.m. "You can't beat the prices here," said Ernestine Branom, who was the fifth person in line at the door. "The sales are unbelievable." More than 30 people gathered outside of the front door of the JC Penney Outlet for sales ranging from a $12.99 DVD player to a $49.99 GPS system.
