An Imaginary Town Becomes Real, Then Not
Back in 1976, my girlfriend's mother had a friend who worked for a map company and was a graduate of the University of Michigan.  The company made very popular maps, everyone had one in their car.<p>Ohio State University, near Columbus, was the nemesis and rival of UofM.  So this mapmaker stuck a couple of short texts accompanying two roads near Columbus.  One said 'mgoblu' and the other 'beatosu'.  They were pretty hard to find unless you knew where to look.<p>But his bosses found out eventually and fired him.  Haha.<p>Agloe is a better story.
