The Evans Rent was TOO HIGH to live in a CAPPY place like that-lol Instead of an $100 it should have been $25-lol

it really was ugly and really just needed a coat of paint. You would think that if they had enough money for J.J. to buy his art supplies, they could have sprung for a bucket of paint.

I agree. When I was a kid we weren't the wealthiest, but my Dad bought paint and painted the inside of our duplex.

I can't help but always look at that dinginess, the dirty walls, etc. It makes me wanna grab a bottle of 409 and clean!!!!

Here, when I see some smudge or dirt on the doors or walls where somone (most likely my five year old) has touched it, I immediately clean it. I can't stand that kind of dinginess. I go thru spray cleaners like you wouldn't believe.

It didn't make sense with Thelma always home "cleaning" and Florida being home, you would think that place would be CLEAN. Especially during that apartment contest. Being poor doesn't mean you are dirty. Take a towel, wet it and wipe of that dirt, especially off that refrigerator.

I think that being that the Evens fridge was most likely a hand me down or it came with the apartment, they probably could have scrubbed it all day with bleach and those spots would have still been there. Although those counters could have used some paint.

I think the whole apartment needed some paint. Those walls were so blah-looking. What color were they? definitely not white. They needed more color in the apartment and some better-looking curtains.

True. Later, when Flo came back to the series, there were large throw rugs on the floor, the walls didn't look like cement anymore, but still, that damn refrigerator made the kitchen look bad. I realize it came with the apt. and it's true, with all those marks and so forth, no amt. of cleaning could bring that refrigerator to life. But I think the counters could have used some paint.

There is in Massachusetts. My aunt lives in a 3-bedroom. The project is huge, and there's only a few apartments with a third bedroom.

Yep I grew up in a three bedroom apt. The building I grew up in was went up to four bedrooms and had 1.5 baths. It was built in 1973 apartments were huge. the bActually The Evans could of had a three bedroom considering the were a married couple with 3 kids. If Florida came in with 3 kids and no husband they would have given her a 2 bdrm. The question one should ask was how the heck Wilona got into the projects with no kids and no husband?

Thank you!!! I wanna know too. We know that Alderman Davis got the family their apt. So, it was probably the only one available, which is why they had to take what was given to them. Normally, from what I understand, when you have a certain amt of people in your family, they give you enough bedrooms.
