Dandelion Wine was the first book I (re-)read upon moving to Waukegan, it remains one of my favorites.

from today's Chicago Tribune:
"...Waukegan had already cast its spell, and it would show up under the disguised name of "Green Town" again and again in his fiction, imbued with the soft glow of nostalgia."
