Prabhupāda: We have got a very nice house in Detroit. If you sometimes go there...
George Harrison: Whereabouts?
Prabhupāda: Detroit.
George Harrison: Ah, Detroit. They need one there. Crazy place.
Jayatīrtha: Heavy place.
Prabhupāda: That house was constructed fifty years ago at the cost of six million dollars, and we have got it very cheap. Three hundred thousand dollars.
George Harrison: Was it a big house?
Hari-śauri: A very big mansion on the riverside.
George Harrison: Colonial house?
Prabhupāda: Not as big-four acres of land—but the building is very costly. One room will cost now three hundred thousand dollars. So nicely made.
Hari-śauri: They estimated it would cost about fifteen million to build such a house now.
George Harrison: Yes, they probably wouldn't even bother or be able to, at least. Is it an old house?
Hari-śauri: Fifty years old. It's very solid, though, very good condition as well.
Prabhupāda: And on the house on bottom, there is river. Not directly, but an offshoot of river. People come, rowing. A very nice situation, and because it is black quarter, nobody was purchasing. So I said that "For us, what is black or white? Purchase it." So we got very cheap. At that time I paid them hundred and fifty thousand, and (indistinct). So we purchased.
George Harrison: Did they find a temple in Hamburg? In Hamburg. I was there once, but they just had a little tiny house, and they were trying to get another.
Prabhupāda: Hamburg, I think closed?
Jayatīrtha: They have a place in Frankfurt, where the devotees are.... Just outside Frankfurt.
George Harrison: So they haven't got a place in Hamburg.
Jayatīrtha: No, it's a heavy city.
George Harrison: I was there one year when they were having fights. It's...
Jayatīrtha: Rockers. It's a heavy place.
Mukunda: Rockers.
George Harrison: It is full of gangs.
