I have lived in NC for the past 18 years and if it wasn't for AC in the summer, this state would still be a rural farming state. I wish you luck with the idea of not using AC and living in TV in the summer.

I think you're right - the whole South had big time population growth about the time a/c became a regular amenity. I lived in Houston (twice) and don't see how anyone could stand it in the summer before a/c. Guess that's when the "ladies" sat on their porches sipping lemonade and had servants to fan them (and do all the work).
Would be guessing that if you don't use your air cond., you wouldn't have to worry much about having too many houseguests or folks over for cards!
