Everyone had Sunsetter awnings. It kept their patios about 20 degrees cooler.

My high school didn't have AC when I graduated in 1977. They had fans running and windows open in every classroom. The only reason they got AC when they did was the parish wanted to build a jail that would have AC. The taxpayers wouldn't build it, when their kids were going without AC at school.
The gym wasn't air conditioned either, and they held a beauty pageant in it every July.

The gym we practiced in didn't have AC. Just big fans circulating the air and radiators for winter. We all preferred playing in that gym over the "new" gym with AC that we played our games in.

Graduated HS in ‘68. Parents got AC that year.
Slept with the windows open. There was a bakery across the street. The old baker’s Big Ben was set for 2:30 AM. Would some time wake us up. The good thing when we would get up in the morning fresh bread smell filled the neighborhood. Oh the good old days. Life was simple back then.

Grew up in Harahan and New Orleans, didn’t have air conditioning until the late late 60’s. Never bothered us. We kept windows open and used fans. I really don’t think it was as hot as it gets now.

You would probably be surprised to find out that nobody actually lived in the south before the 1950s when air conditioning became popular.

If you drive through really poor neighborhoods you will see people out on their lawns all day sitting there. That is why.

I grew up in South Georgia. We didn’t have it at my house until about the 8th grade because my dad was too cheap to buy a window unit.

My FIL never fixed their AC. This isn’t Louisiana, my wife is from Knoxville. Still hotter than frick all, though. And they are middle class, he just said frick it, no more AC bill.
Unreal.
He did just build a house and it has AC.

With all the windows open we’re the misquotes bad?

My father in law lives in a house in Bama with one window unit in the kitchen, around 2300 sq/ft. It's a 70 year old home, in otherwise great shape, but the shite doesn't phase him. I hate staying there, sweat all night. I will say it's a great way to make sure I don't frick his daughter under his roof.
Then to top it off, during the winters he uses a wood stove to heat, so you have to bundle up in bed. He's an old timer, very cool, he's just acclimated to it all.

You made sure the integrity of your window screens was intact baw. You didn't go through the hurricanes in 2005?

We went a summer without AC. I’m sure it sucked, but I’m also sure that we never blamed anyone and made do.

We had a camp on Lake Pontchartrain I remember spending every summer at and it was completely open air with only screens. Fans were the only thing we had to move air around..
