What do you have in your neighbourhood?

Ground Zero Gallery (resident 'artist' sells paintings and sculptures from the Buy catalogue, because custom paintings don't sell for much and can't easily be restocked)
Well, restocking custom paintings is a pain in the neck, to be sure, but they sell for anything you want to sell them for. If I can sell Eau de Brynne for 10K, you can sell a custom painting for anything you want.
I never did understand how you were able to mark pee for sale. :P
I have enjoyed following this thread, as I am fairly new to the idea of having anything much in the way of community lots. Now that I have a new computer, a whole new world is opened up to me with a few seconds of loading time per lot instead of 20+ minutes. I used to get distracted and come back to my game only to find that my sim had been on the community lot for a day or so with all their needs depleted. ::)
I still mostly have community lots to sell crafted items and personal electronics. I have always loved notovny's community lots, so I usually have them in my game if they fit in with the theme.
In my Royal Kingdom (LOTR) neighborhood I have a prison/workhouse on a residential lot run by a Mrs. Crumplebottom clone that was kind of a fun idea. If a lower-class citizen began picking on a royal or noble sim, I would sentence them to a round in the workhouse. There they would serve out their sentence making toys, painting, cooking & cleaning. Aragorn and Arwen run a home venue where they eat meals and spend time with their subjects. They are short on help now other than hired services, but someday they will get a live-in servant or two from the local Peasantry spares to cook, clean, garden and be a nanny. Now that I have BV, I have the neighborhood dwarves mine for treasure and sell what they dig up.
In Pleasantview I have one community dancing club/bar/boxing ring where I invite and influence fighting among the various classes of NPCs for my amusement. For example, Karen Gast is the champion fighter in the Nanny Division, and Korey Jitmakusol is the champion of the Headmaster Division. Customers gain stars watching the fights.
I have tried Zazazu's idea of a petting zoo in a Legacy when I had a sim that wanted to raise 20 kittens or puppies. Since all guests want to do is play with pets anyway, I built a barn in the backyard and made them buy tickets to play with cats. I thought someday I would try it again and download pets from MTS2 that look like kangaroos, zebras, etc.
I love notveryawesome's Life Skills business idea. That's what I thought I would do for a vocational school.
Zazazu:
I have a bunch of random freak-pets saved from MTS2 and my own creation for my apocalypse 'hood and found one for sale on the mainland in Queen's Cove. That was odd.
I'm really, really jealous of everyone's community lot names. Mine are bland. Seriously. Snack Shop, Paint me a Picture (originally I was going to have sims pay to paint on the easels and sell back their work, but couldn't get visitors to use the easels), Ridge Collectibles, and Ridge Market. Oh. And there's the cemetary. It's called "Cemetary" and its description is "Put your dead here." Blah.

It's an effect produced by Yellow Pee, which gave pee puddles their own puddle type, distinguishing them from ordinary, non-pee puddles. When OFB was added, Maxis decided to implement puddle non-sellability locally, meaning the change did not propagate to the seperate pee puddles, so pee could be marked for sale. I thought this was so hilarious that I left it.

Well now I know why there's a yellow pee hack. I always thought it was a wee bit gross, but I may just have to try it out now.
J. M. Pescado:
It's less gross than sims subsequently splashing in it because they can't tell that it is pee. Also, 99% of the pee puddles will actually be produced by dogs and penguins. There should not normally be SIMS peeing on the floor. Except Brynne.
