What do you "assign" to the Shire?

A personal favorite (besides all of the Welsh places) is Wawa, which means Canada goose in Lenape. Just makes me laugh to have a place (and convenience store chain) named Wawa.

Just so everyone doesn't think everything here is interestingly named, there's a street named Street Road. And a newer cross street to Street Road quite logically named New Street Road. Not very original, but entertaining anyway.

Ohh you should see my neighbourhood, Celuien.

We have the cross of Carlos and Carlotta (Just for those who don't see it, Carlos and Carlotta are pretty much the same name in Spanish but Carlos is for male and Carlota for female)

And then we have streets crossing with themselves, such as Buckle at Buckle, Carlotta at Carlotta...

Finally, you can go down one road and cross the same road twice without turning back.... some streets here are U-shaped. It's lots of fun to bike around my neighbourhood.

But what's the point of all this? well, I'm mightly happy because I'll go biking today, so I'm assigning bikes and bike rides to The Shire. Along with smaller bikes for hobbits.
