An Indiana city is selling $1 homes to save itself from decay. Here's what you can get for the money.
[A mutual friend] suggested looking into Sierra Vista, Arizona as a possible place to retire to. But what can you get for a $1.00 there? Will this offer launch a "rush" to Gary, Indiana? MMM…maybe not.

    Karl Malden, one of my favorite actors. A long time ago I saw him described as an example of the Method Actor.

    According to Wikipedia, as a young man he worked in a Gary steel mill.

    I didn't have to read the article,but I'll tell you what you get for dollar:Front row seats to the ghetto.
    What you DON'T get for a dollar:Peace of mind,safety--a long life.
    What you need:A bullet proof vest,plus a
    loaded rifle standing near your bed.
    Not too many Maldens living around there now I'm guessing.

    I was intrigued but they lost me at "Gary". You will never recoup your initial $1 investment. Maybe if you could buy a payday loan outfit or a gas station that also fries chicken you could do ok there.

    Gary Indiana is also the childhood home of the Jackson 5 clan. Tells you all you need to know right there.
