The only places we had A/C as a kid was the bank and drug store in town

For the life of me, I can't recall any places that were air conditioned in my youth. 'Course, I'm from California, so there ya go. Most places probably never had it.

I do remember the big ceiling fans in the schools, and just about every other public place.
