Does anyone else remember, I think it was in the mid 1990s, that hundreds of people in Chicago died during a heat wave?

If I recall correctly, deaths were occurring due to:

1. lack of air conditioning in many old apartment buildings in Chicago

2. temperatures over 100 degrees

3. People in the south and west side ghettos were afraid to open windows to cool off, due to fear of the crime which is so common in the ghetto.

Yes, I lived in Chicagoland during one of the deadly heat waves. Hillary Clinton's childhood suburb of Park Ridge.

There were more than a couple of deadly summers in Chicago.
