Snow’s dying recollects Friday nights at Church Avenue Station
Thanks to your Jan. 26 article, “Entrepreneur, Church Avenue visionary Snow dies at age 82.” Though I used to be unhappy to listen to of the lack of Bob Snow, it introduced again many pleased reminiscences of my youthful Friday evenings spent at Rosie O’Grady’s. (By no means on Saturday nights. That was date night time and vacationer time at Rosie’s.)
After parking underneath I-4, it was only a temporary stroll to the Good Time Emporium the place I’d meet buddies and meet their buddies. After a brief time frame and a beer or two, we discovered ourselves singing (loudly), dancing and having an total raucous time. It was the proper end-of-week launch from the stress of working, attending faculty lessons at UCF, and learning. Rosie’s St. Patrick’s Day and Halloween costume events have been epic.
I’m hoping that Snow will relaxation in good peace realizing that his Church Avenue creation offered pleasant enjoyable and alternatives to have a good time, effectively… something, all of the whereas permitting you to spend time laughing endlessly with nice buddies. The reminiscences final eternally.

Downtown nightspot: ‘Each go to was a pleasure’
I shed a couple of tears to learn that Bob Snow died. My husband and I moved to Casselberry in 1975 to an exquisite four-bedroom home on a lake, large enough for all these family who visited from upstate New York. And at all times, we entertained them with a visit to Church Avenue Station. We have been there the night time the New York Instances was photographing Snow in his white swimsuit enjoying his trumpet with the Dixieland Band. We have been there the night time that Disney individuals have been current to take a look at the group and ultimately open Downtown Disney. It was a wonderful venue, particularly the Cheyenne Saloon. Each go to was a pleasure. Thanks, Bob Snow, for the reminiscences.

The place are the protests over Greenland takeover?
America isn’t now, nor ever was, a Christian nation. It holds sacrosanct the dedication to maintain faith and authorities separate.
Maybe there isn’t a extra probative instance of this when the present president wouldn’t rule out utilizing American army pressure to take Greenland and/or the Panama Canal.
If we have been a Christian nation, individuals would have taken to the streets insisting that America would by no means attempt to seize one other nation. However there was barely a murmur from the overwhelming majority of People. A Christian nation? We don’t even imagine within the Ten Commandments!
