MULTIPLE BALTIMORE COOLING CENTERS OPENED FOR WEEKEND.

If you want to know how hot it will be-here is your sign. Official cooling centers are open Thursday through Sunday, some with more part-time hours. The Sun link below gives the addresses to the centers, as well as describes the current bad air quality alerts and description of heat related illnesses. We can not believe we see people jogging mid-day, but we have. They had to be jogging, right? Nobody seemed to be chasing them? Anyway, libraries, movie theaters and museums are also a way to escape the heat for a bit of history or culture at a reasonable/free price. We attempted to interview a random street passerby to offer him a chance to discuss the heatwave, however, the person who only told us was named "Coolio," declined the opportunity indicating he was "Going to run for shelter. Going to run for shade." Prophetic words from a street poet. BTW-your actual cooling station not actually pictured above-it is merely an alternative serving suggestion.
