Black Friday is still days away, but don't tell that to Lorie Davenport of St. Petersburg and her friend Tina Thain. The two women and their husbands have been taking turns camping out in front of the Best Buy near Tyrone Square Mall in St. Petersburg since Wednesday, ensuring they will be the first shoppers to enter the store at 5 a.m. Friday. The two women's efforts already have paid off. The store gave each an Apple iPad on Wednesday.
