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!" map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=41.294%C2%B0N,+129.134%C2%B0E&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=16&ll=32.690351,35.196397&spn=0.015928,0.040855&t=h)

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 (http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/places/nahalal.html).
