East Bay residents look for ways to escape the heat

The heat is especially intense in the East Bay this week. One of the hottest cities is Concord , where temperatures topped 100 degrees Tuesday. Residents, especially those without air conditioning, looked for various ways to deal with the heat. The Concord Senior Center on Parkside Circle is doubling as one this week. Richard Ramirez, who lives out of his van in Martinez, said he drove to the cooling center to charge his devices, and escape the oppressive heat for much of the day.

The Meadow Homes Spray Park was a popular spot for families Tuesday evening."I wet my feet, and my hair, by the time I come back out, I'm already dry, it's that hot," said Concord resident Tanya Zimiga. "You can't sit in the car with air conditioning, the house, the bill will go up so high."A vendor selling Mexican ice cream made extra batches and flavors in anticipation of bigger crowds this week at the spray park.
