BaL was created by two ladies who met by working together in a seemingly stressed environment. They always found ways to divert stressful situations into positivity by either taking extended breaks and/or lunches, walking to surrounding waterfront areas, communicating & venting, etc. Soon, their communication extended beyond work hours and as a result, they formed a friendship that has lasted for over 15 years.
