Estonian gentleman Illimar Lepik Von Wirén tweets that a grocery store was built around a glacial boulder. This is a grocery store that is part of the Viimsi Shopping Center in the town of Haabneeme. Another photo of the rock suggests that it provides a space for a shopping cart-shaped sculpture.Estonia has many "erratic boulders" left over from previous ice ages.

    Estonia has many “erratic boulders” left over from previous ice ages. They have government protection.

    Tfw you’ll never be an erratic boulder protected by Estonian government.

      I remember some store or business that was builtt over some archeological site and was only later discovered during some maintenance work. As a compromise they installed a transparent floor to showcase the digging site.

      Yeah, this looks just plain awesome. Grocery stores are so bland and samey, it’d be nice if they had more creative decor like this.

        There’s a few in Europe and the UK that have glass floors to showcase protected ancient structures.

    So are these protected just because they’ve existed for so long? Makes sense I guess, but why not relocate it, ya know?

      Why was the grocery store permitted to be built? Why can’t it move?
