They mostly didn't. In the worst areas, the middle class and wealthy people all went away for the summers. It cracks me up, though, that Chevy Chase and NW D.C. and Silver Spring were also considered "away" back then. Of course, we didn't have cars and highrises to make heat and blacktop and sidewalks to hold it. And we didn't pave over the ground so rain couldn't soak in and cut down all of the trees.
My old apartment didn't have any amenities. Let me tell you, handwashing dishes in an un-air-conditioned apartment in 100+ heat and 95% humidity. Ugh! Very grateful my condo has ac, even if I never use it....

After spending a winter up on Baffin Island, I gave up on considering anything as cold. But as far as this area is concerned, I am still amazed how anyone could have lived here in the summer before there was air conditioning. larry -- Larry C.
