Two words: real estate. Actress Jessica Lange said:
“When we first moved to Stillwater, it still felt like a real place. It had a downtown with a hardware store, a furniture store, a clothing store,” she said in an interview Sunday with the New York Daily News to promote her newest film, “Bonneville,” which opens Friday.
“Now it’s all gift shops and these terrible condominiums,” she added. “It was a little town with a great deal of character. Everything gets yuppified, I guess.”
This hatred may be because the new condo developments stole the limelight from her mansion. Lang had it listed on the MLS for over 3 years and reduced the price by $1,350,000, which is a 59% decrease! And I was a little upset when our previous home only sold for 96% of the original listing price.
I agree with her that Stillwater has changed significantly. Do you disagree?
