Much to my husband's dismay, I never pass the statue of F. Scott Fitzgerald in Rice Park in downtown St. Paul without greeting him. This summer I convinced my granddaughter that F. Scott would love to make her acquaintance, too. I hope that they will become fast friends!
Sculpture Michael Price created this statue of F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1996 as St. Paul celebrated Fitzgerald’s centennial birthday.
I bet this statue is the exact build and height of Scott Fitzgerald.
