Hello,fellow Bradburians!
First off, I just want to say how wonderful it is to see other fans of Ray come together. I wish I found you guys sooner! To get to the heart of the matter, my wife and I saved up enough money to finally take us and our two girls to come up to Green Town itself and go to the Dandelion Wine Festival on June 6th. I am very ecstatic to finally make "the pilgrimage" from St. Louis. Hopefully I get to see some fans there,as well. I am wondering if you can help me to make sure I have my sites down. I have the ravine,the St. James home, the grandparents home,both Carnegie libraries,the beach,and the Genesee Theater. Am I missing anything important? Thanks for the info, guys!
Yours,
Jared

If you will PM me your email, I can send you a map revealing EVERYTHING!

Take a look at my blog post from a few years ago, and you will find a link to my Google Map of Bradbury's Waukegan:

I think you have all the major sites covered. There is also the "walk of fame" (or whatever it's called), where there is a "star" for Ray. And the public library is worth a look - see if you can find the Ray Bradbury room in the basement.

And if you don't feel ghoulish walking around graveyards, you can go looking for gravestones of various Spa(u)ldings and other Bradbury ancestors.

All of these are shown on my Google Map.
