Houses cheaper than cars in Detroit.
...says the headline. But in actual fact, houses are cheaper than used cars. A boarded-up bungalow on the city's west side brought $1,300. A four-bedroom house near the original Motown recording studio sold for $7,000. "You can't buy a used car for that," said Izairi. "It's a gamble, and you have to wonder how low it's going to get."

RIP John Inman
From the Times obit:
John Inman, actor, was born on June 28, 1935. He died of complications arising from hepatitis A on March 8, 2007, aged 71.
Few situation comedies have aroused such loyal affection in television viewers as Are You Being Served? And no character was more beloved than the irrepressibly camp Mr Humphries, played by John Inman. The series ran for a dozen years and was regularly watched by half of Britain. It was later a cult success in the US.
