    Adopt a Central Park bench

    You can "adopt a bench" in Central Park, and they will put put a little plaque on it for you.

    Anyone want to guess what this costs?

    I don't know how much it costs, but maybe you can recoup your purchase price by charging rent to the bums sleeping on your bench.
    Get your $$ back quick.
    PUGS !!!

    It's actually $7,500 for most; $25,000 for a few special ones.

    Thanks for playing this wonderful game.

    that's a lot of money; people have to pay for their own park benches now?
