A tisket. A tasket. No one wants the Longaberger basket (building).

Heh. The article says one of it’s issues is the location.

Yeah, a couple miles east of Newark (Locals pronounce it Ne’rk) is really nowhere land.

When they were riding high on the hog their manufacturing plant was in that area and they drew workers from Newark, Dresden, Coshocton and little villages in the area. All areas sort of hard pressed for work. Now that the jobs are gone, the area is back to being hard pressed.

And, it is too far away to enjoy being another bedroom community to Columbus. Although I am sure many drive from the area to jobs in Columbus.

Good luck selling that cartoon building. They should have built a normal building and had a cartoon basket sign out front. A business lesson for sure.
