The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Post #2)

I had been thinking that perhaps the story 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' was written in Dellwood. I thought that it would have been written shortly after F Scott Fitzgerald's daughter's birth. I was mostly right:). He actually wrote it *in* St Paul, shortly after Scotties' birth, and published it in the Spring of 1922.

I found the address of the house they lived in then, so one of these days, I'll go and find it ! I just mapquested it (is that a *VERB*?) and it seems pretty straightforward. Of course, this *is* St Paul. I think it'd be fun to try without taking a map or directions with me first. Finding it on my own is half the fun!
