Was F. Scott Fitzgerald born in St. Paul, Minnesota ?
Yes, he sure was. When he lived in Minnesota his name was Bob Dylan. When he started his writing career, his first pen name was "Paper Mate" but that didn't work out. He used to really enjoy driving his Cord convertible up to Minnesota's North Shore along Lake Superior with his girlfriend Carmen. Carmen was the nurse on the "Axel & His Dog" kids TV show in the '50's.
F. Scott used the North Shore as the setting for his first book; "Murder on the Disoriented Express". It was centered around the train that runs between Duluth and Two Harbors. The basic story is that of two lumberjacks that were really upset with Minnesota's law against having an open liquor bottle in a vehicle and took it out on an iron miner from Biwabik who was just trying to get to Two Harbors for a pizza. The book didn't sell very well and no one wanted to buy the movie rights because the book was only 27 pages long. Things got better for him over time and Scotty finished his career as the Chief Engineer on the Starship Enterprise.
