Residents enjoy living a circle-shaped community
The Stu says: "I found this community over in the middle east which appears to be based on a large circle. The entire town has taken the shape of a circle, and even the farmland extends like spokes out to each side!" Link

The village's name is Nahalal, it's in Israel. I went to middle school there but lived in a rather nondescriptly-shaped development about ten minutes away. I don't know if the people there really "enjoy" living in a circle or whether they spend any time really thinking about it, but I've definitely always thought it was strange.

See a brief history and some more photos of Nahalal here.A copy of the interesting Jerusalem's Post obit on architect Richard Kauffmann who designed Nahalal, among others such as the current official dwelling of the israeli prime minister.
