Le Gnome heureux
Nous nous rencontrerons sur le parking du Gnome Craft Pub et nous nous familiariserons avec les bases de la vie cinétique de Fitzgerald. De là, nous nous dirigerons le long des trottoirs d'un ensemble de rues résidentielles tout en découvrant les maisons et les lieux de rencontre de Fitzgerald. Nous ferons une pause dans les parcs où Fitzgerald a joué, verrons son ancien bâtiment scolaire ainsi que le club social privé qu'il n'a jamais été autorisé à rejoindre. En marchant, vous entendrez des détails sur l'enfance de l'auteur à Saint-Paul et sur sa vie d'adulte ultérieure. Notre boucle de marche privée de 2 heures nous ramènera au point de départ de la visite.

Doug was very friendly and knowledgeable about the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Cathedral Hill neighborhood. He has a true passion for telling stories. We will definitely use him again the next time we are booking a tour in the area!

The F. Scott Fitzgerald walking tour in Saint Paul with Douglas Kline was one of the highlights of our visit to the twin cities. Douglas not only provided my wife and I with a detailed and lyrical portrait of F. Scott Fitzgerald as a boy and young man growing up in Saint Paul, but also thru various residences identified the social and familial influences that informed Fitzgerald’s coming of age as a writer. What we did not expect was Douglas Kline’s love of architecture and how he seamlessly wove into the narrative of our tour a unique and detailed insight into the architectural evolution of not only the homes F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in, but how the melding of architectural styles from home to home on Summit Avenue characterized the generational changes of Saint Paul writ large. Douglas Kline’s walking tour is an absolute must not only for F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiasts, but for anyone who enjoys the company of a congenial and gracious guide whose thoughtful and eloquent acumen is not only revelatory but decidedly above all else inspired.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the blending of Fitzgerald history with the beautifully restored homes in his historic, boyhood neighborhood. Fitzgerald's fame and success can be tied to many of the locales we visited. Our exploration helped place his later life in context. Happy you liked the tour!
