The only place a person can stand to be outside in Cincinnati is in a swimming pool. Wednesday's 100-degree temperature set a heat record for the city, and it's not expected to let up this weekend. The scary part is that the Cincinnati's public pools were about to be closed at the beginning of the month because the city couldn't afford to keep them open. Until lawyer Stan Chesley came through, donating the $80,000 needed to keep the pools open through the month. We talk to Chesley, and to kids in Cincinnati about what summer would be like if there were no pools.
