There's this jewelry store called 'All that Glitters' by my house, and I have to blink twice every time I go past it.
My Aunt used to live off of Pippin Street. Sadly, she moved away before I 'discovered' Lord of the Rings.
Anyone here read the Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordon? Soooo many parallels! They even have a Bela the pony! And Lan, and the myrdraal, and the Trollocs... don't even get me started... excellent books though, and they break off from Tolkien after the first book or so.
And there's this pile of rocks by my bus stop that, when the light's right, strangely resembles that one place where the Fellowship hides from the spy-birds... you know what I'm talking about. I've been wanting to take me friends up there to do a remake of that scene.
