Agloe, New York, is a fictitious village created by the Esso company in the early 1930s and inserted into tourist maps as a copyright trap, or paper town.

Paper Towns by John Green (2008), Chapter 20

I definitely can't choose my favorite movie if someone ask what is my favorite movie I'll give them different answer everytime they ask cause I watch many movies and series and like most of them. Here is one of them Paper Towns a movie based on John Green's novel. This movie really leave a mark on my feelings, start with Q believe he had miracle;Margo Roth Spiegelman his neighbor his best friend since they were kids, he believe she is more than a person, a mysterious and adventurous person, but turns out she is just a regular person and still figure it out who she is... like every teenagers at the moment.

"Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are."

"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person."

Q had a crush on Margo he was her first partner in crime but as they grow up they wont talk much on each other until a night Margo came to his room and ask Q to join her revenge project to her ex-boyfriend and friends. Margo dissapear later, she didn't came to school, Q never tought last night was the last chance he saw Margo and the project was the way she said goodbye.

Q following a clue by clues he been searching where is Margo with his friends help and had a road trip to find Margo with Radar, Ben, Angela, and Lacey after he found a map with few holes at the old souvenir store. The road trip to Agloe was my favorite part of this movie also in the book.

beside it is one of my dream to had a road trip somewhere. :))

The meaning of Paper Town is a fake town created by map makers created to protect their copyright. Map makers put fake streets, fake towns, and fake bridges in their maps, so if they see those same fake places on someone else's map, they'll know that they've been robbed.” John Green said.

Margo still figure it out about herself and choose get lost to find herself she will go to the paper towns and she wont come back she said, when she thought that she feel like paper town, unreal, missing herself in the middle of the crowd.

The ending in the movie and book were different but both have a same meaning about to be grateful with what we have around and let go of things that been with us. Q finally realize that the important thing beside Margo is his friends and try to enjoy the moment with taking a risk.

this movie wont win award for the best movie or cast but still this is one of my favorite movie that I still rewatch it sometimes. (I’m happy this movie is on Netflix!)

here is my favorite quote :

“It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.”

get lost... get found.

I’ve always found the story of paper towns and the ingenuity of people amazing, so since I got my hands on a old exxon map showing Agloe, I wanted to do something to commemorate.

so I created a print, good for john green fans, or map fans (is there a word for that?) or just people who want a cool print to decorate with. (that’s also me)

If you have the map, the town will appear to you. You can go there.

Not New England, but a road trip through the Catskills led us to a town that doesn’t exist. It’s about a 40 minute drive from the middle of nowhere- but someone was nice enough to put up a sign. #agloe #papertowns #johngreen (at Agloe, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKu8vZFHpY/?igshid=178fd8dthnh07
