Update:
Cedar Grove Gardens will provide an additional 10% off on any purchase paid with an American Express.

Imagine:  parking right outside the door of a great shop (or walking there from home), talking directly with the proprietor - who might be your next-door neighbor - and getting a great deal!  A lost scene from It's a Wonderful Life? A dream brought on by too much turkey? No, it's "Small Business Saturday," a nationwide promotion to re-introduce shoppers to their neighborhood business districts on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
