FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – As the temperatures warm up this week, cooling stations are reopening across Fort Wayne.
If you need place to cool down this week, you’ll have a half-dozen options in the Summit City. Most are open as long as the high temperature reaches 90 degrees.
The Planning Council on Homelessness and Fort Wayne’s Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services will oversee the collaborative efforts.

Not to disparage those that are physically effected by heat issues, but I wonder just how our ancestors got along. My grandparents only had A/C very late in their lives. What did they do before that.Look at photos from the turn of the century. At widely attended baseball games we see men in suits and hats out in the sun rooting on their favorite team. Were those people tougher than we are? Now NOAA and the rest of government must warn us it is going to be HOT in the middle of August! In several months from now they will warn us it is going to be very cold in the middle of winter at 40 degrees north latitude. Is no one responsible for their own safety anymore? If an older member of a family is having distress due to the weather, hot or cold, why doesn’t the family provide the needed relief? Why does the taxpayer have to provide cooling or warming centers for them? The whole society has been ultras feminized and it is not good in such a dangerous world.
