    I imagine the shade it provides helps tremendously in an apartment as well.

      Yes, William - the buildings were built tall and close together to create more airflow as well as to provide shade too, just like the rawasheen window coverings.

      Most buildings have AC units all over the place. I keep ours on here year-round. Can't take the heat any more. Woe is me!
