Livi - what the hell?
I just came across the Gävle Goat. Ever since somebody burned it down in 1966, it's become some sort of sport to torch it and it goes down most years. In 2016 it was demolished by a Volvo, another year there was an attempted theft via helicopter. Kind of like the Burning Man, but not supposed to be burned or vandalized. Pretty funny!

The otherwise utterly boring little town of Gävle has found a way of making the headlines at least once a year. The community leaders all cry crocodile tears the years its burned down, very well acknowledging the fact that left intact it would have no tourist value what so ever. In fact, if it wasn´t for this spectacle, few Swedes would have heard about Gävle at all.

NYC may be trying to steal your thunder? It could be come a rivalry on par with Israel and Palestine.
