Could Mary Richards Really Afford That Minneapolis Apartment on a TV Producer's Salary?

Could Mary Richards Really Afford That Minneapolis Apartment on a TV Producer's Salary? 119 North Weatherly, Apartment D. A third-floor studio in Minneapolis. One big room, a sleeper sofa in the middle of the floor, a big wooden M on the wall, and a corner window half of America wanted to live behind. Phyllis downstairs. Rhoda upstairs. And inside it, a single woman over thirty, no husband, no roommate, working at the lowest-rated TV station in town. One woman. One paycheck. On September 19th, 1970, Mary Richards moved in, and somehow a newsroom job that paid less than the secretary's covered all of it.
