Why a "dry-ice factory"? Anyone have any ideas on what that could mean?

@EnduringChill Apparently the real Birmingham AL has a ice-making plant fairly close to the city centre. Don't know if it's a dry ice plant but I've heard it's a good place to get some thinking done...

@EnduringChill DRY ICE = the ultimate image of ephemeral being; it goes directly from solid to gas/vapor and disappears. It also combines disparate elements in one weird phrase since ice is usually wet as it melts, not dry...

a very Byrneian symbol/image...?
