Bob Snow and AssociatesBrief bio published in the local Orlando newspaper about the man who created Church Street Station. Here's a short excerpt from the bio:
He hunts the most ferocious animals on earth with his arsenal of rare shotguns. ... He stockpiles hundreds of elegant, precious antiques as if they were going out of style . . . again.
And he refuses to build from the ground up in the suburbs of any city. He's a believe in downtowns.
That's where old time values were born. Where buildings were once crafted like pieces of sculpture. Where beauty and antiquity cry out for recognition."Everything here is real," he says, using Church Street as an example. "The bricks are real, The building has a sense of history. You can't duplicate authenticity."

"Wilmer Mitchell, Snow's legal counsel, remembers a day in 1972: We pressed our noses up against the glass where Rosie's is now and all I saw was a shambles and all he saw was a dream. He turned to me and said, 'Isn't it beautiful?' just as I was getting ready to turn to him to say, "This is awful.' But do you know what he described for me exactly what you see when you go down there at night now. Exactly."

I’m curious to know if Bob is still living
Greetings Mr. Smart! The last contact I had with Mr. Snow was through his website. I hope you are able to reach him and discuss the good old days in Pensacola! http://snowandassociates.us/snow.htm
I remember Bob real well when he was here in Pensacola. He flew out of Coastal airport (83J).
Coastal airport was – 2300’ grass runway.
Greetings Mr. Smart! Thank you for visiting Orlando Memory and for sharing your memories of Bob Snow. What an amazing man! We have many other posts on Church Street Station as it was in its Glory Days before Bob sold it and ventured out to Las Vegas. Wish he’d never have left because Church Street Station entertainment district faded away in the late 1990s. Thanks for visiting and we hope you explore and find more posts that bring back fond memories of days gone by! THE ORLANDO MEMORY TEAM.
