Agloe is a fictional place in Delaware County, New York, that became an actual landmark.
In the 1930s, General Drafting Company founder Otto G. Lindberg and an assistant, Ernest Alpers, assigned an anagram of their initials to a dirt-road intersection in the Catskill Mountains. The town was designed as a copyright trap.
In the 1950s, a general store was built at the intersection on the map, and was given the name Agloe General Store because the name was on the Esso maps. Later, Agloe appeared on a Rand McNally map after the mapmaker got the name of the “town” from the Delaware County administration. When Esso threatened to sue Rand McNally for the assumed copyright infringement which the ‘trap’ had revealed, the latter pointed out that the place had now become real and therefore no infringement could be established.
Eventually the store went out of business; Agloe continued to appear on maps as recently as the 1990s, but has now been deleted. It still appears in Google Maps. The United States Geological Survey added “Agloe (Not Official)” to the Geographic Names Information System database in February 2014.
Agloe is featured in the novel Paper Towns by John Green.

tbh that scene where Pam is crying about her torn wedding veil because it’s the one thing she was supposed to be able to control and Jim cuts his tie in half right in front of her so she’s not alone is the most important wedding scene I’ve ever witnessed

At the end of the day no matter what happened between us
we fall asleep knowing that our lives are intertwined in a way only we can understand.
That’s the most beautiful poetry there is.
A sacred bond, a secret garden, worlds apart,
and every night we dance together in the stars hand in hand,
I will see you in our dreams, my love.

They call me coffee cuz I grind so fine
They call me coffee I keep you up past 2 am
They call me coffee because I’m really bitter and most people don’t like me without changing some aspect of what I am
