Well, has anyone heard of Longaberger Baskets? The "basket building" (offices) is about 30 minutes away in Newark, OH. Their factory is right down the road from me. The whole Longaberger thing got started by Dave Longaberger, who lived in Dresden Ohio (which is like 15 minutes away --the very next town East of mine). He died a few years ago and his daughters took over (well, one of them primarily) and she's pretty much run it right into the ground. She built a gigantic mansion a few years ago (not long after her dad died) that is literally walking distance from where I keep my horses in training (the barn where I used to work). Anyway, they've been laying people off like crazy and letting go a ton of them too. The couple who trained our first horse years ago both worked there for 15 years and were just let go about 2 years ago.
Here's the office building. One of my friend's mom worked here (until she got let go along with several thousand others).

I can't find any pictures of the mansion. I'll have to try to take some (which will be hard, since she's got her place surrounded by huge pine trees).
OH, I forgot about this place. It's also in Dresden. It's the Prospect Place mansion, supposedly haunted. They have "sleepover" tours all the time where you can actually go spend the night in it. They featured this place on Ghost Hunters once, which was pretty cool.

That's all I have, heh.
Edited to fix huge pic..
And, I totally forgot about Columbus! Eric Clapton has a mansion nearby in Dublin. He obviously doesn't live here full time but his wife is from Columbus I guess. Apparently he likes it here because people don't hound him and just let him be a normal person. I don't have pictures of it but it's HUGE. And it's right on the riverside.
