    That house is exquisite, and with so much of America's history being lost it's nice to see something like this, honoring the wonderful people who lived there. Good job as always Jordan!

    I lived on Woodward Avenue a block south of the Fitzgerald house in the '70s and a good friend owned this house at the time and rented it out as two apartments. I spent many an evening sipping Old Foresters and water in that sun room on the left side, which was rented out to another good friend. Good times.

    Oh my, my heart loves this entire vlog. I so want to be there with you to experience the history in this lovely home. Zelda's living area stole my heart but then, so did F. Scott's . What a lovely place to tour and stay while there. "Thank you" once again for making this old gal smile. lol

    Love how they fixed up the whole house. So glad it was saved from getting destroyed. The bedrooms are so beautiful. Love the Christmas decorations in the rooms and in the museum. Wishing you, Jah and your family a very blessed New Year. It’s special being able to spend the night there. Thank you Jordan

    That was so nice of them to invite you to stay in the newly decorated suite of Zelda Fitzgerald absolutely gorgeous apartment. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, you said you would return, and it was well worth the wait. If ever I was to come to the USA I would love to stay there . Such a fan of the Fitzgeralds, so it would be a dream come true. 💛 this year has come off to a great start. 💙💚🧡👍🦋

    So glad you made this New Years visit. The house was just perfect. The staff obviously spent a good deal of time and thought ensuring the Christmas decorations were in keeping with the spirit of the house. Jordan, this production is yet another excellent addition to your back catalogue of F. Scott Fitzgerald documentaries. Once more you have provided an insight into the environment that formed the backdrop of the writers daily life. Also your attention to the 'unseen' detail, such as 'the floor has a slight lean to it' enables us to become totally immersed in the experience. I truly hope this time next year all Covid restrictions will be a thing of the past and the Fitzgerald house can celebrate in true 'Jazz Age' style. For the present, I like to imagine the ghosts of Scott and Zelda silently waltzing together through the house while the old year turned into 2022. Many thanks for this Vlog Jordan.

    How incredible. Thank you so much for coming back here Jordan. I hope you can come back one day for their party. They have really presented a wonderful slice of life from Scott and Zelda. Did you do a tree for your first Christmas in your home or were you out of town visiting your mom and grandpa or on the road? I was curious if you did a tree, how you decorated it and what colors you used since you have a good eye for decor. Have a great night and thank you for sharing this. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

    Thanks for the tour, I didn't know about this place. I read a few of Fitzgerald's novels,it started my interest in the 1920s and all of it's beauty and decadence.

  • @RRW276
    @RRW276 Před 2 lety +1

    Wow! I didn't even know this museum existed. What a wonderful tour & my word, it's such a gorgeous home. You point out all the lovely details, especially those rugs! And the floors, the woodwork around the doors, the views etc. A home that truly would never go out of style. It's like they were a bit ahead of their own times with these homes when they were built. It's an antique now, but who wouldn't love to live there?!
    Anyway, The Great Gatsby was the book that started my love for reading & the lead to my eventual preference for historical fiction (big Ken Follett fan). Reading was always a chore, I dreaded it as a kid & struggled in school, but when I read Gatsby and then The Beautiful and Damned during HS, it just kicked off this fiery passion for reading. I hadn't really taken school all too seriously, & I was ADHD (still am?), but that changed with F. Scott Fitzgerald. I really credit him for my "shaping up" in school because I realized that I was absolutely capable. I was a late bloomer, but I ended up in college & now live this wonderful life (in my 40s now 😉). It's interesting the things or circumstances that alter our lives. Anyway, here's the Fitzgerald house & I wasn't even aware of it. So, thank you! Instant sub right here!

I made my husband watch it too and he grinned and said “that Jordan has been right about every movie you have forced me to watch. He’s got great taste “. Thanks ..again. 👍

    Hi Jordan, so pleased that you got stay there even though the party was cancelled. Oh, I love those benches by the trees, even if it was cold I would sit there for a while and take it in. I like how the suites haven't been over done with Christmas decorations. The whole suite is so cosy, all you need is a light snowfall and a hot chocolate. Great vlog Jordan.

    What a super tour, Jordan! Your attention to detail is much appreciated. Love the decor over all. The pillows are very imaginative and the Christmas theme really well done. I could live in the two-bedroom easy.
    In case the museum staff views your wonderful vid, I do have two suggestions...1) Perhaps the washer and dryer could be hidden behind a period curtain. 2) Regarding the radio...be great if they could find a cd or cassette player which looks like a period radio and have programs from that era playing at the touch of a button. Plus, if it is on a cd, I remember running across a recording (maybe a CZcams) of F. Scott Fitzgerald reading something. His voice sounded so different from what I'd imagined.
    Thanks so much, Jordan! And kiss Jah for me.

    The Fitzgerald House is so beautiful. The Christmas decorations and the furnishings are out of this world gorgeous.

To bad that the New Years party had to be canceled, I think the party would have been awesome. Thanks for showing us!

    And just a side note, as a kid I remember seeing the few photos of Fitzgerald around the library in books & how much older he was. He was an old man. But in actuality he was a young man & that's how I see him today. Sure was a handsome fellow & Zelda of course is very beautiful. They were a striking couple!
