The story
Florida and James (renamed from Henry) Evans and their three children live at 963 North Gilbert Avenue, apartment 17C, in a public housing project in a poor, black inner-city Chicago neighborhood.
The project is unnamed on the show but is implicitly the infamous Cabrini–Green Homes, shown in the opening and closing credits.
Their building superintendent is Nathan Bookman (seasons 2–6), whom James, Willona, and later J.J. call "Buffalo Butt" or, even more derisively, "Booger".
