We’re so proud of our neighborhood!
This just after the first Midtown Alley Street Festival this past weekend, which featured nearly all of the restaurants listed! We also learned that the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts earned Best Museum, The Fountain on Locust won Best Ice Cream Parlor, Pappy’s Smokehouse won Best BBQ, The U won Best French Fries AND The Good Pie earned best Lunch Specials. Phew! We are rockin’ down here!!
TOKY-designed HOKlife.com, HOK’s public blog, continues to receive great press!
From the article in the St. Louis Business Journal:
Life at HOK (hoklife.com) was launched last October — with no promotional advertising — to show the world the people behind the scenes at the design powerhouse, which had $752 million in 2008 revenue. Since then the slick medley of design and pop culture has won awards and become a frequent destination, not only for HOK’s 2,000-plus employees, but for potential hires, clients and competitors, said HOK communications specialist Jeannette Thompson.
“It has just been a great addition to our toolkit of ways we communicate both internally and externally,” Thompson said. “It’s really interesting how people are craving this kind of information.”
