A trip down Memory Lane — and Greenwich pricing

that was then, this is now

I noticed that 24 Forest Avenue in Old Greenwich has just rented for $6,500 a month, and I recognized it as the house of former legal clients of mine from way back when (January 28, 1986, to be exact — we were in Norwalk Housing Court, seeking to recover damages from a tenant, when one of the housing specialists barged into the conference room to tell us that the Challenger had just blown up). That aside, I noticed the current rent of $6,500 and knowing that my clients had eventually sold up and moved back to Germany, I wondered what they had received for it: the tax card shows that it sold in 1999 for $13,500.

Sheesh.
