Speaking of Cars & Q, we met up with a few of pros at Choate's event. Here we have CBRE's Jonathan Rice, Choate's Bill Bland, and Bank of North GA's Mark Hancock. Mark was showing off his '67 Ford Galaxie, a car that he's been pining for ever since his boyhood. "Growing up in Savannah, I had a buddy who had a Galaxie hard top," he says. "So I wanted one for myself, and I wanted a convertible."
Choate's Millard Choate shows off not one, but two of his dream machines: A '66 Chevy Sting Ray and a '55 Chevy Bel Air. In fact, the Bel Air has "never been touched since it left the factory." Bill tells us Choate has still been building a lot of student housing projects. But most recently it secured a GC contract with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to build its $250M imaging research facility, and it's redeveloping the original club house at Sea Pines resort in Hilton Head Island.
