The F. Scott Fitzgerald Society
(www.fscottfitzgeraldsociety.org), is the proud sponsor of the 10th
International F. Scott Fitzgerald Conference, to be held this year
at the historic Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore Hotel (20 West
Baltimore St.), built in 1928. (www. radisson.com/lordbaltimore) A
special non-academic
Social Calendar is being offered to the general public as space
permits. Registration fees by-the-day: (see coupon below) Contact

The magnificent Victorian George Peabody Library, (17 E. Mount
Vernon Place), will be displaying a special H. L. Mencken exhibit.
Mencken was editor of the literary magazine, The Smart Set, and the
first to publish a story (Babes in the Woods) by F. Scott
Fitzgerald.
Evergreen Museum and Library (4545N.CharlesSt.) is the last leg
of the downtown tour before finally returning to the hotel. This
famous Baltimore landmark was home to the influential family of
John W. Garrett, who bought it in 1878
(www.museums.jhu.edu/evergreen/about/history/).
The Belvedere Hotel (1E.ChaseSt.atCharles) hosted many society
guests and was the site of many important social events, including
Scottie Fitzgeralds Sweet Sixteen Party. The Owl Bar, infamous for
its speakeasy days, was frequented by H. L. Mencken and F. S.
Fitzgerald.
