 Robson Arms is an older Tudor styled two-story walk up apartment building located in the west end of Vancouver. The building is inhabited by a variety of tenants, who interact with each other, and who interact with the mainstays of the building, namely the womanizing superintendent Yuri Kukov, and the Tans, the owner/managers of Pendrell Market, the corner grocery store attached to the building. On a week to week basis, The Troubadours comment on the state of the building s tenants through song over the opening credits.
