Get the Paper Town neck gaiter and mug.
Look at all those cul-de-sacs, the streets that turn in on themselves all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people in their paper houses burning the furniture to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking the beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. It's just a paper town.

paper town is a made-up place used by cartographers to test for plagiarism. they will put fraud locations on their maps so if it shows up on other maps, that means another cartographer is plagiarizing.
