For several days, as well as DC and NYC. They're all cooking. I'm so sad about all the non-tRump celebrations being canceled but I certainly understand why. Having lived in these cities, in the summer and without A/C it is sheer misery. Add the humidity and forget it. I'd sleep on the fire escape or a roof at night once the outside is cooler than the inside. The first thing stolen from me in the summer in 1979 in NYC, Union Sq was in broad daylight...a box window fan! My dad mentioned this clever and fast crime throughout his entire life.
