...blend of gush and gusto that makes Bear Creek so successful is hard to match. Of the dwarf pine, one applicant writes, "A tree-mendous way to remember Christmas." Holmes and Stump groan. And groan again when confronted by "It's love at first bite"-about the nine-layer chocolate cake ($18.95 delivered...

Abernathy doubts that idea will ever come to fruition. "You could blow the building up too, and that would remedy it," he says...
