Green Town from orbit!

Anyone using Google Earth? (Info and download here: http://earth.google.com )

Type in "Waukegan, Illinois" and you can zoom right in on Ray's home town. I can even see the Ravine! I'm sure someone like Nard could see other Bradbury landmarks as well.

Yeah, Nard posted the section supposedly containing the houses of Ray and his grandparents, but I couldn't make them out.

Phil,

We'd done this before, some time ago, but before Google offered this service. Yeah, it's great to see the landmarks, including the ravine. Thanks for the post.

Best,

Pete
