Giant basket.

House-Sized Wicker Basket

We were interested to see all of the giant Longaberger baskets. This basket sits in the middle of a small town, looking deserted and falling apart. What a shame. I find them unique. Drive slow on Main Street or you will drive right past it.

Basket as big as a house.
