Brewer, PA

The small city in Pennsylvania where the story takes place.

Springer Motors Toyota

The car dealership where Harry Angstrom works.

89 Joseph Street

Bessie Springer's home, which she shares with Harry and Janice, and also with Nelson and Melanie or Pru.

The Upstairs

Even though the Springer house at 89 Joseph is presented as a big house, the upstairs seems to be divided in an awkward way. There is Bessie's room where her movements and her television programs can be heard through the wall into the Angstrom's bedroom. There is the small back room, which is thought of as Nelson's and the sewing room where Melanie is put. When the old folks are away in the Pocono's, Nelson and Melanie share the bed in the sewing room, and after Nelson and Pru are married, they take the sewing room, which is on the front of the house.
