Hot or not, playtime is playtime

City parks were largely empty Tuesday afternoon as the temperature climbed to 91 degrees. But Paxton Alexander, 3, managed to get some time on a swing at Lawrence Park with Candy Caesar of Franklin as they waited for a sister to attend a cheer camp in Berwick. The calendar says Wednesday is the first day of summer, but the Tri-City area has already been sweltering for more than a week. The rest of this week is supposed to be cooled slightly by showers.
