I grew up in the Hawaii Territory, before it was a state. Pineapple was common, a picked ripe pineapple was 5 cents, and so sweet all of our guests assumed mom had added sugar. We had fresh pineapple every day for a long time until we were sick of it.
This is what an LMU dorm room looked like in the 1920's...
"Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) dormitory room. LaFrentz - Poole Hall (dormitory). Shows two young women at desks, beds in foreground, dressers and radiator at end of room."
No air conditioning, no fridge in the room, and GASP, no WIFI or internet.
