Do we have a trope for the phenomenon where real life cities (or parts thereof, like a street) embrace the fact that a popular work of fiction is either set in that city, or in a fictional city that just happens to have the same name? Like how Metropolis, Illinois declared itself Supermans hometown due to sharing it's name with the fictional city that the man of steel lives in. Or how the German city of Bremen fully embraced the fairy tale of the Bremen Town Musicians.
If not, is this trope worthy?
