Frank, could you elaborate a little bit about what these cooling centers offer? Can one bring pets? Are refreshments offered, or permitted to be brought in? Are there sleeping cots, or can/should one bring an air mattress or cot? Is electricity (for recharging cellphones and computers) available? Can one access wireless? Is anything specifically prohibited? I think that information would be helpful, in case we need to avail ourselves of the facilities.
