So Adam wrote me and told me about this new development going up in central Oregon: The Shire of Bend. Now’s your chance to buy into a community featuring a mishmash of architectural styles from England, Scandinavia, and Middle Earth!
As you can see on the neighborhood map, lots 23 through 27 are already reserved for such worthies as Gil-Galad, Boromir and Faramir, and one of the Proudfoots. (Proudfeet?) So obviously these properties are hot hot hot and going fast.

My first thoughts: cool! I’d love to live in a hobbit stead.
After reading a little my enthousiasm has cooled off a little bit… What to think of the following:
”
Using a newly developed recycled pvc we can create an Old World thatch look while incorporating modern-day codes and building methods.
”
Yuck… Sounds like Disney World just met Hobbiton…
EDIT:
Fsck yea! Rosie Cotton lives at plot #21! I know where I’ll be going :9
