Thursday, Dec. 4, 2003: It was early, early for me that is, about 8 a.m. and I was just rolling over and adjusting the pillow when the phone rang. It was Brad Langdon with a tip.

I had to get up and out pronto. There were big doings in town. Five minutes later another ring, another tipster, another realtor, Pat Murphy saying to get "up and out. Get downtown." Duty called. I was quickly up and out. Second Avenue was blocked off from Murray to Franklin Streets. A sheriff's deputy stood guard and a small clique of locals huddled on the corner, sipping coffee. There were trailers galore, cameras, lights, gaffs, cable everywhere, men standing around, but not much action.
 

Gail Anderson opened The Christmas Place in a small shop on Second Avenue in Historic Downtown Niwot six years ago. The business grew and after two busy years she moved into larger quarters, the historic Frank Bader on the corner of Franklin and Second Ave.
