At Facebook, signs of celebration and newfound wealth (PHOTOS)

Facebook’s $5 billion initial public offering Wednesday brought celebration inside and outside of the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park. The campus, located at 1601 Willow Road, is private property and was closed to media, but Bay Area Catering and Events vans, florists and at least two porsches with sales stickers still in the window were spotted leaving around 5:30 p.m.
