On Tuesday we were able to get the Foley team together to celebrate Thanksgiving. Everyone brought a dish to share with the group & after we consumed the cornucopia of deliciousness, we sat around the conference table giving thanks for each other and the opportunities that we have… cue the record stopping, & then we took celebratory tequila shots with the birthday girl, Isabella. You always have to be on your toes with this group. Well, Happy Thanksgiving and an even Happier Birthday to our Aussie employee Isabella.  #bryceselfie #relaxyourshoulders #lockitup #foodcomawalk

Fat Friday was another success as Laser Dave brought us his breakfast pizza specialities-  (2) bacon egg and cheese pizzas, a lox and egg pizza, and a boozy mixed berry pizza with a white wine reduction sauce. Pew pew....Laser Dave strikes again with a delicious spread. #canhemakebreakfasteveryfriday #pewpew #pizzadeliveryboy

Last Wednesday we had our annual Foley Flog event at Flat Creek Country Club in Peachtree City. What is a Foley Flog you say? Flog is Golf spelled backwards. & a Foley Flog is a 9-hole Golf Scramble consisting of 4-person teams made up of a mix of Foley employees, clients, & consultants. As the name implies it can be a bit of a backwards game as players from all skills levels & backgrounds are forced together to attempt to play an intensly skillful sport.

Congrats to our intern Jessyca who was part of the winning NOMAs design team for the Barbara G. Laurie Student Design Competition in Los Angeles, California. She was part of a 4 person team representing Georgia Tech and out of 21 teams, they won 1st place!  Not sure how she finds time to work with us, juggle school, & kick butt in competitions but she does it well. Kudos to her as she deserves all the accolades thrown her way.

There’s no explanation needed for why New York City is one of the GREATEST cities in the world. I visited recently, and spent some time at one of the newest (and most photogenic) architecture hubs within the city – the World Trade Center. For this post, I’ll give some fun facts about One World Trade Center, a.k.a. Freedom Tower.
