Air conditioning has ruined the south.
Why is that, cause Yanks came down?
Air conditioning has ruined the nation. They used to come and go from D.C. There were no career politicians before air conditioning.
Here is what is getting popular in Texas now:
In Wilmingtgon, NC, there is a nicely restored mansion built on the eve of the War of Southern Independence built by a doctor and merchant by the name of Bellamy.
It is now a museum.
The top of the mansion features a “belvedere,” a sort of large cupola or small upper room with windows on all four sides, from which you get a nice view of the surrounding city. It also serves as an upper terminus for vents coming up from the lower floors, and thus cools the house with a chimney effect if you open the windows.
When I visited it in the early summer, the windows on the belvedere were closed. And it was toasty to say the least, a testament to the venting effect I would say.
[The mansion has an interesting history. Completed in 1861, the Bellamys lived in it a little under 4 years, finally removing to one of their distant properties before Wilmington fell to the Union, at which time the Northern Army used it as a regional headquarters for a while.
A few months later, in the Fall of 1865, the Bellamys moved back in. The last surviving Bellamy daughter, born in the mansion after the war, died there in 1946.]
I suppose that's true, in a way. It made it possible for us Yankees to immigrate there.
Yep
The single greatest reason we have been overrun by non southerners
