Czego oczekiwać

Szczęśliwy Gnom

Spotkamy się na parkingu The Gnome Craft Pub i zapoznamy się z podstawami kinetycznego życia Fitzgeralda. Stamtąd udamy się chodnikami szeregu ulic mieszkalnych, oglądając domy i miejsca spotkań Fitzgeralda. Zatrzymamy się w parkach, w których grał Fitzgerald, zobaczymy budynek dawnej szkoły oraz prywatny klub towarzyski, do którego nigdy nie pozwolono mu dołączyć. Idąc, usłyszysz szczegóły dotyczące dzieciństwa autora w St. Paul oraz jego późniejszego dorosłego życia. Nasza prywatna, 2-godzinna pętla spacerowa zawróci nas z powrotem do punktu początkowego wycieczki.

Aleja Szczytu

The Happy Gnome

We'll meet in the parking lot of The Gnome Craft Pub and become oriented with the basics of Fitzgerald's kinetic life. From there, we'll make our way along the sidewalks of a collection of residential streets while seeing Fitzgerald's homes and hangouts. We'll pause in parks where Fitzgerald played, see his former school building as well as the private social club that he was never allowed to join. As you walk, you'll hear details about the author's boyhood in St. Paul plus his later adult life. Our private, 2-hour walking loop will return us back to the tour starting point.

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!
