Street names inspired by Middle earth

I just found out that in the Dutch town of Geldrop there is a neighborhood with names inspired by Tolkien.
Here, you can live in streets called Bombadil, Legolas or Lorien, among others.
Check out Google Maps or Earth for all names, by searching this address; Nimrodel, 5663 TE Geldrop
Are there any more examples of this?

The staff has all basically resigned, and mostly not on the boards anymore, and I'm no good at the formatting it took to get it to work on here.
But if anyone wants to take over the paper, I'm happy to act as a consultant and occasional contributor. 
And yes, Tolkenia Forever!

We do have a special day to plan for... celebrating the 20th Anniversary of The Two Towers' release. A special edition would be a fun tribute! I'll check into it since some of the original contributors aren't available... but there are so many talented folks about the place, I think it would be very do-able! :D
Put your article thinking cap on, dear ED.
We have been there and back again.

I wonder if DanielLB might have time to do the weather--and maybe some graphics. He's a genius at that.

there's a street parallel to mine named Sackville. Because the neighbourhood is older than the PJ films, I'm sure it's coincidence.

The books have been out for ooodles of years before the films! At least, that's the belief I'm going to go with since it makes me smile thinking that Sackville is so closeby ;)

In Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, there's a Hobbit Street, Gilgalad Way, Evenstar Court, Shire Court, Hill Pond Drive, and Chetwood Court.
