Sci-Fi legend blesses plan for community gardens, farmers’ market, green roofs, festival, renewable energy and a new green technology center named after the acclaimed writer. Bradbury grew up in Waukegan, IL, and immortalized it in stories as "Green Town," a lush and inviting place. Over time, population growth, sprawl and deterioration took its toll. Now, a green rebirth is being launched.
