MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - The City of Memphis is opening a cooling center over the weekend as temperatures soar into the triple digits.
The Orange Mound Community Center, located at 2572 Park Avenue, will be open Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. so those without air conditioning can have relief from the extreme heat.
In addition, citizens can escape excessive temperatures by visiting any City of Memphis library, community center, or senior center during regular business hours.
If citizens need a ride to one of those facilities, they should call the Mayor’s Citizens Service Center at 576-6500 during business hours.
