There are No Hobbits in Rivershyre


Gwinnetians who enjoy a bit of Tolkein will be disappointed to know that, despite its Middle-earth connotations, not a single hobbit could be found in the Rivershyre neighborhood off Buford Drive.


Seen above, a map of Tolkein's Shire, and below, a map of Rivershyre. Despite having hobbity-sounding streets like Shyrewood Drive, Woodshyre Court, Lochshyre Way, Oakshyre Place, Pinshyre Court, Shyreton Place, and Larkshyre Trail, not only were we unable to find any hobbits in Rivershyre, we didn't notice any dwarves or errant wizards either.



You may recognize Gandalf and Frodo, but sadly you'll see nothing of the sort in Rivershyre, so we asked The Man on The Street for his thoughts about it. "I don't know anything about hobbits in Rivershyre, but I swear I saw a Nazgul on Cannonball Court one time."
