The stores had AC, and advertised "Come on IN! It's 20 degrees COOLER inside!"Boy, do I remember that! Those places were havens for the hot traveler. Do you remember after market swamp coolers for your car? My Dad had one that looked like a jet engine mounted on the passenger window of our 1960 Volkswagon and another in our '56 Olds that mounted on the floorboard under the dash that you had to add ice to.
