Boston's Heat Emergency Means It's Swimming Time

Mayor Thomas Menino has just declared that Boston's staggering 90+ degree temperatures constitute a heat emergency. You know what that means. Pool party. Mumbles's office reminds you to take cool showers, wear light, loose fitting clothing, and stop by Boston's pools for a dip. The pools are open until 9 p.m. for the rest of the week, and we have a list of them after the jump. Don't forget to make sure that your old neighbors aren't dead from heatstroke before you go.
