Cool Miracle in the Summer
In the blistering 1911 heat wave, a group of New York City boys take a desperate and communal respite, their tongues pressed against a massive ice block. This impromptu urban chill zone was situated on a sidewalk in front of a grocery store, offering a fleeting escape from what remains the most lethal heat wave in the city’s history.
In a metropolis where skyscrapers and concrete replaced trees and grass, the heat was particularly unforgiving. This compelling image serves as a timeless testament to human ingenuity and resilience, as people found ways to adapt and survive in the heat-scorched city.
