Emmalinda loved the calm, predictable routine of the Brown Palace Hotel. She liked to think she was partially responsible for it. And then, suddenly, everything fell apart. Things crashed! Things disappeared! Did six-year-old Johnny have anything to do with it, or perhaps the older visitor, Jake? And what about the totally unbelievable elevator rides? It Happened at the Brown Palace takes place at the historic Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colorado.

The town of Loveland arose on the northern Front Range along the Big Thompson River, although it is often mistakenly associated with the mountain pass and ski resort that share the same name. Located where the beauty of the mountains meets the bounty of the plains, Loveland became an agricultural and transportation hub when platted by the Colorado Central Railroad in 1877. The area boomed as the site of the Great Western Sugar Companys first factory in 1901. A natural gateway to the scenery and recreation of the Rockies, Loveland was also the headquarters for major water diversion projects. The romantic-sounding name inevitably led the Sweetheart City to promote its postmark in a Valentine re-mailing campaign that began in 1953. Since then, the community has evolved into a high-tech manufacturing center and public art showplace.
