    Yup.

    Backstory is that Kiruna is a mining town way up north in Sweden, and the mine has hollowed out the town to the degree that they kind of need to get stuff out of the way.

    Some historically significant buildings get spared in the move, not all though.

    Money comes from mines being a profitable affair
