Longaberger Basket Company, Newark Ohio

Hillary Clinton was right in so many things she said. Here is a basket that would fit many deplorables. It is a seven storey basket. I don't know whether this building is abandoned, it was sold in December 2017, but it looks like it is still for sale. It is a Gulliver expansion (160X) replica of the company's best selling model, the medium market basket.

This building was built in 1997 for $32 million dollars. It and 21 acres were sold for $1.2 million and back taxes of $800+ thousand. The company founder had died, the business was sold, the building became vacant in 2016.
