Can we get some misters on the patios?

Shreveport... Hot as Hell right?

Why don't we have misters on patios?  We have a large amount of restaurants with patios outside  all over Shreveport-Bossier and a lot of us love the patio scenes. This generally occurs only during nice weather and retreats inside as it gets hotter. Having our dinner and drinks in the great outdoors, it's great and I know a lot of people out there would like to extend those good times a little past May, especially the smoking outcast.  Confusing me is the fact that we have had 100+ degree temps that would stifle a camel and I can't find a patio anywhere that has misters.  (let me know who does)

A mister is a tubular devise with misting nozzles having water pushed through cooling it's effective areas by as much as 20 degrees. Six Flags over Texas has had misters forever in their "cooling stations" and anyone ever being there in the summer learned to worship those gifts from above.  

As as a another look back "in the gap," Dallas has numerous patios with misters.  Oh man, I miss those days doing "Fun-day Sunday" down on Mckinney Ave.  Even when it was blistering heat you could still sit on the patios with a "cold drink" and friends being comfortable.  Mixing some fans and misters is an awesome way to stay comfortable even in the hottest temperatures.

How is it "Green" is a question you might be considering with the whole idea of this blog being to inform on the practicality of green. Excellent Point! Well keeping a cooler temperature around porches and entrances will reduce your electrical bill. It acts as a layer of cooler air between your conditioned air and the brutal heat. It is not practical to do this on a continuous basis because of a few different hindrances but when you have family and/or friends at the house you have all that in and out traffic.  This makes your A/C kick on a little more, especially in this recent heat, and it is certainly noticeable on the bill. So using misters will combat your high as hell bill this summer and keep your outdoor guests feeling up to 20 degrees cooler.
