Hot Summer in the City: Saturdays in the Park

As she did for winter 2010, Mother Nature has truly outdone herself this summer, brewing up a miserable combination of heat and humidity that has enveloped not only the northeastern U.S., but much of the Northern Hemisphere as well. July was the warmest single calendar month of all time in Washington, D.C. New York City and Philadelphia experienced their second-warmest months since records began in the late 1800s, and Chicago's had an all-time record number of consecutive days with temperatures of 80 degrees or higher this year.

The summer heat wave hit New York city from Tribeca to Union Square and from the beaches to the parks, sending many city residents flocking to their neighborhood parks seeking relief. This piece contains a number of wonderful photographs of people trying to escape the scorching heat by heading to Central Park, Union Square and Tomkins Square Park. All kinds of people, and sometimes they're acting very goofy! It also includes a great slide show and two music videos, Chicago's “Saturday in the Park” and The Lovin' Spoonful's “Summer in the City.”

It's very cool, so please enjoy it!
