Remembering Bob Snow

The founder of Rosie O'Grady's and Seville Quarter, Bob Snow, died Friday at the age of 82 after a fall at his Pensacola home. Snow successfully transformed downtown Pensacola with the Seville Quarter entertainment complex in the mid-seventies. What started as Rosie O’Grady’s Good Time Emporium in 1967 later expanded to Apple Annie’s Courtyard, Lili Marlene’s Aviator’s Pub and Restaurant and Phineas Phogg’s Balloon Works. Snow eventually sold the entertainment complex to his long-time attorney Wilmer Mitchell and his family. In February 2016, I interviewed Wilmer, who is a great storyteller.
