College student Chris Brown will be eating Thanksgiving dinner in a tent while saving his place in a growing line of anxious shoppers outside the Best Buy on Dawsonville Highway this holiday. But this isn’t the first time he’s been away from a traditional dinner table for Thanksgiving. In 2011, Brown showed up the morning before Thanksgiving Day to save his spot in line and be one of the first to get his hands on merchandise at Best Buy’s Black Friday sale.
