| christmas tree shops out of business: Little One, the Christmas Tree Alexandra Marshall, 2021-04-27 This is a story about a man who becomes a widower and must raise his two children alone. Luke and the children have become reclusive. After their mother's death, Ben and Sarah have no desire to celebrate Christmas. A Christmas tree lot, owned by a kind, elderly man, is visited by the people in the village each Christmas. There are shops and cafes offering cider, cocoa, and coffee adjacent to the tree lot. The Christmas Tree Man notices that Luke and his children have not come to buy a tree. He sends a gift to the family. One year passes, and the second year, as Christmastime arrives, he notes that they did not buy a tree and decides to visit the family. A third Christmas approaches, the children seem happier and tell Luke that they want a Christmas tree this year. Soon thereafter, they go to the Christmas tree lot and pick out a tree. It is a very unusual tree. As they go inside the shop to pay for it, a beautiful lady offers them some hot cocoa. It is Mary, the Christmas Tree Man's daughter. Luke and Mary are instantly attracted to each other, and soon begin a relationship. The children remark that Mary looks like a woman in their dreams. The very special tree that the children have picked out is planted outside, near the small village church. For the first time in three years, Ben and Sarah want to decorate the home for Christmas and send Christmas cards. Luke is very happy. Christmas Eve arrives and after church, Luke and the children are invited to dinner with the Christmas Tree Man and Mary. That evening, Luke and Mary become engaged. Everyone is elated. In the spring, a wedding is held in the small village church. The sun shines through the stained glass windows of the church and fills the ground by the little Christmas tree with hues of color, creating a wondrous scene of beauty. 2 |

| christmas tree shops out of business: Urstadt Biddle Properties Gene Brown, 2008-08-14 The following excerpt comes directly in the book after a dramatic account of the attempted hostile takeover of Urstadt Biddles predecessor, HRE Properties, by a large real estate organization (latter a REIT) called Kimco. The fending off of that attempt and the elevation of Charles J. Urstadt to CEO marked the beginning of Urstadt Biddle Properties modern history and set the tone and general direction for the business that remains in effect today: Chapter Four: A New Business Plan The elevation of Charles J. Urstadt to CEO of HRE Properties in 1989 was occasioned by the fight to keep the company from being swallowed up by Kimco. But the ultimate significance of the move went far beyond HREs prolonged struggle to remain independent. In fact, the consequences of Urstadts new position for HREs ongoing operations would completely overshadow Kimcos attempt at a hostile takeover. Urstadt did not just represent a new face at the top of HRE. He was not at the helm just to guide it through the current storm. He was a man with a plan, and stood for an entirely new direction in the companys business. Indeed, at their meeting of September 19, 1989, the Trustees not only voted to make Urstadt HREs CEO, they also voted acceptance of his business plan to redirect the Trust, geographically consolidating its holdings in the Northeast while focusing on the acquisition and management of neighborhood shopping centers. Urstadt dedicated himself to fending off Kimco because, first of all, he firmly believed that HRE could maximize its profits by staying small. For Urstadt, it was a matter of basic business philosophy. In large companies, entrepreneurial decisions do not exist, Urstadt, who had learned from experience, said. Only the political perspective does. People try to impress the boss as they seek various perks. Having served at or near the top in several major real estate firms, as the head of New York States Division of Housing and Community Renewal, and as the first Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Battery Park City Authority, where he had to deal with government bureaucracy at the city, state and federal levels, Urstadt knew what large organizations entailed. Size mattered, and he wanted to keep HRE small, flexible and responsive. Related to size was distance the geographical distance from a real estate company to the properties it owned and managed. Shrink the distance and you achieve greater efficiency and with it, lower operating and managerial costs. Urstadt couldnt abide the Trusts scattershot approach to property location and the lack of real estate business savvy that attitude reflected. Years later he would criticize the Boards simplistic concept that had them putting two charts in each report: one was a chart of the United States and the other was a chart of the diversity of its property types. It seemed like the board was trying to color in all the states. Urstadts grandfather, who had influenced him to go into real estate, had told him you ought to be able to walk to what you owned. In this day and age that was no longer always practical. But management should still be able to reach their companys properties with no more than an hour or two behind the wheel, Urstadt believed. Ultimately that would be refined to a geographical criterion for HRE acquisitions that confined most of the Trusts new investment possibilities to within about a 50-75 mile radius of corporate headquarters, a standard for acquisitions that remains in effect today at Urstadt Biddle Properties. As with geography, so with diversity. Scattering HREs property over multiple types of real estate investment was not likely to produce the best result. Concentrating on one sector in the business, ideally one more insulated from the inevitable boom and bust cycles that affected office buildings, was a better bet. The investment also ought to be in something that best matched the experience and |

| christmas tree shops out of business: A Forgotten Landscape: How A Place Called Crockett's Corner Became The Maine Mall M.M. Drymon PhD, 2015-10-25 A place called Crockett's Corner began as a seventeenth century colonial settlement that grew into a stable and sustainable nineteenth century American agrarian landscape. During thetwentieth century, in a rapid but staged process, the landscape was changed into an edge city. These changes were the direct result, especially after 1938, of prevailing public policies which acted to constrain some land uses while supporting others.Landscape change has had unintended consequences, including local social network destruction,historic building demolition, and unmitigated air and non-point source water pollution. Raising awareness of the deep history of this place may help empower advocates for historic preservation, open space, environmental protection and more sustainable land use practices in the future. |

Sammarco, 2017 Author and historian Anthony Sammarco reveals the fascinating history of Boston's beloved Jordan Marsh. Jordan Marsh opened its first store in 1851 on Milk Street in Boston selling assorted dry goods. Following the Civil War, the store moved to Winthrop Square and later to Washington Street between Summer and Avon Streets. The new five-story building, designed by Winslow & Wetherell, unveiled the novel concept of department shopping under one roof. It attracted shoppers by offering personal service with the adage that the customer is always right, easy credit, art exhibitions and musical performances. By the 1970s, it had become a regional New England icon and the largest department store chain in the nation. |

| christmas tree shops out of business: Killer Stuff and Tons of Money Maureen Stanton, 2011-06-09 One dealer's journey from the populist mayhem of flea markets to the rarefied realm of auctions reveals the rich, often outrageous subculture of antiques and collectibles. Millions of Americans are drawn to antiques and flea-market culture, whether as participants or as viewers of the perennially popular Antiques Roadshow or the recent hit American Pickers. This world has the air of a lottery: a $20 purchase might net you four, five, or six figures. Master dealer Curt Avery, the unlikely star of Killer Stuff and Tons of Money, plays that lottery every day, and he wins it more than most. Occasionally he gets lucky, but more often, he draws on a deep knowledge of America's past and the odd, fascinating, and beautiful objects that have survived it. Week in, week out, Avery trawls the flea and antiques circuit-buying, selling, and advising other dealers in his many areas of expertise, from furniture to glass to stoneware, and more. On the surface, he's an improbable candidate for an antiques dealer. He wrestled in high school and still retains the pugilistic build; he is gruff, funny, and profane; he favors shorts and sneakers, even in November; and he is remarkably generous toward both competitors and customers who want a break. But as he struggles for a spot in a high-end Boston show, he must step up his game and, perhaps more challenging, fit in with a white-shoe crowd. Through his ascent, we see the flea-osphere for what it truly is-less a lottery than a contact sport with few rules and many pitfalls. This rich and sometimes hilarious subculture rewards peculiar interests and outright obsessions-one dealer specializes in shrunken heads; another wants all the postal memorabilia he can get. So Avery must be a guerrilla historian and use his hard-earned knowledge of America's past to live by and off his wits. Only the smartest survive in one of America's most ruthless meritocracies. Killer Stuff and Tons of Money is many things: an insider's look at a subculture replete with arcane traditions and high drama, an inspiring account of a self-made man making his way in a cutthroat field, a treasure trove of tips for those who seek out old things themselves, and a thoroughly fresh, vibrant view of history as blood sport. |

| christmas tree shops out of business: So Far Away Meg Mitchell Moore, 2012-05-29 Thirteen-year-old Natalie Gallagher is trying to escape: from her parents' ugly divorce, and from the vicious cyber-bullying of her former best friend. Adrift, confused, she is a girl trying to find her way in a world that seems to either neglect or despise her. Her salvation arrives in an unlikely form: Bridget O'Connell, an Irish maid working for a wealthy Boston family. The catch? Bridget lives only in the pages of a dusty old 1920s diary Natalie unearthed in her mother's basement. But the life she describes is as troubling -- and mysterious -- as the one Natalie is trying to navigate herself, almost a century later. I am writing this down because this is my story. There were only ever two people who knew my secret, and both are gone before me. Who was Bridget, and what became of her? Natalie escapes into the diary, eager to unlock its secrets, and reluctantly accepts the help of library archivist Kathleen Lynch, a widow with her own painful secret: she's estranged from her only daughter. Kathleen sees in Natalie traces of the daughter she has lost, and in Bridget, another spirited young woman at risk. What could an Irish immigrant domestic servant from the 1920s teach them both? As the troubles of a very modern world close in around them, and Natalie's torments at school escalate, the faded pages of Bridget's journal unite the lonely girl and the unhappy widow . . . and might even change their lives forever. |

| christmas tree shops out of business: A Busy Mom's Guide to Entertaining Lisa A. Stukel, 2008-10 Small scale laboratory simulations, in a plasma tunnel, were used to guide the formulation of a new dark energy theory. The simulations were used to demonstrate how and why dark energy produces the acceleration of main sequence stars. This led to the application of Newton's Law to quantify this star acceleration. This simulation forms the basis for a detailed explanation of how spiral galaxies, and other galaxies and star groups, were formed by dark energy. Finally, we are logically lead to dark energy processes that would result in the formation of Voids, Walls, and Clusters. Correlations, between theoretical predictions and astronomical observations, show that the predictions are consistent with the observations. Six additional chapters have been added in this second edition. Two chapters include additional small scale laboratory simulations, that are related to supersonic and hypersonic dark energy. Two chapters give a detailed description of how dark energy acted as the catalyst that led to the formation of spiral galaxies, as well as other types of galaxies and star groups. The remaining two chapters outline how dark energy acted as the catalyst that resulted in the creation of Voids, Walls, and Clusters. |

In the first days of the summer season, a young waitress’s tragic accident stirs up unresolved pain from Mary’s past, leaving her longing for connection. At the same time, Mary’s life is further upended as she begins to suspect her beloved great-aunt, the one person in the world who loves her unconditionally, is descending into Alzheimer’s disease. Then, in walks Dan, a lost love—perhaps the greatest of her life— returning to the Cape after disappearing years before without an explanation. As Mary faces these challenges and losses, it’s her rekindled romance with Dan and her burgeoning unlikely friendships with a warm, eccentric collection of local characters that keep her afloat. Set against the backdrop of Cape Cod sand, sun, and seafood, Summer Shift is the story of a woman’s struggle to find the peace, love, and human connection that have eluded her for decades. |
