Due to the high heat and humidity over the next few days, the City of West Hollywood is opening a Cooling Center for Seniors at the Senior Lounge at Plummer Park which is located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard. Prolonged exposure to the heat can make the weather dangerous as well as uncomfortable particularly for Seniors.
