Thank you all for the advice! I am thinking now about getting a building with a character that can provide more tasks for other people. Maybe Bumblebee man since I can do a 24 hour task at Channel 6. Or the Aztec Theater since I will be able to send SVT on a 4 hour task.
I agree, the towns with all those premium items all over is an eyesore. I just wish it was easier to get a lot of free donuts. I am also an active player on Hay Day, and they use diamonds instead but you are able to get free diamonds all the time, I end up using more and actually purchased some with real money. I wish this game would do that...
I unlocked the Jebidiah Statue (& free donuts), thanks to all of you. Maybe I will try the scratch for donuts. I have had horrible luck with the mystery box, the best thing I got from there was the lemon tree. I have wasted a few on the Homer Buddah too. I got a couple of garbage bins and a bench with a towel. So I don't think I will do that again.
It's good to know I am not the only one with a relatively non-premium town. :)
