Summer goes by fast — like, blink and you might miss it fast.

We’re already in the middle of July, and back-to-school supplies are on the store shelves. Before we know it, pumpkin spice everything will surround us.

But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s make the most out of what’s left of summer while we still can.

Tribune-Review reporters scoured the area and came up with a summer bucket list — in no particular order — of must-do items that really take advantage of the region and season.

Other destinations and experiences on Cumpton’s list are the Andy Warhol Museum; the Fred Rogers statue; Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Beechview neighborhood, the steepest public street officially recorded in the U.S.; a visit to Bob’s Garage in Blawnox; a ghost tour; and Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
