You have many different places to go: Pittsburgh, Erie, or you could pick somewhere local if you want to. Food and movies There are many dining choices both in Cranberry and Monaca, so why not take advantage of the area and grab a bite to eat and see the newest movies? Also, you could go to your favorite place to eat and go to the drive-in instead of the theaters. Young’s Frozen Custard Stand Young’s is open almost every day, except Tuesdays, and its convenient location makes it a prime place to meet up with your friends. Also it is one of the better custard stands around! Wal-Mart Always a fun place to go to, with its vast assortment of toys, electronics, and all of the other random ideas that can be sparked. Just try to control yourself, so you don’t get kicked out. Concerts Many are coming to Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas, so why not go see one of your favorite bands live? Plus, having your friends or family with you is always a memorable experience. Boating or Tubing Either one is always a great time either with your family or your friends. Also there are quite a few places you can go: the river being one of the closest and easiest choices, but there are a couple lakes that offer a great place to enjoy those summer days on the water. Racoon, and Morain are just a couple that are a short drive away. Local pools Cranberry, Beaver, and Econeomy are some of the more common pools in the area. Each has something special about it, like how Cranberry has waterslides and diving boards, while Economy is more quiet and there are less people there. The Beaver pool is one you should arrive early to, to ensure you have a spot to lay out or sit. Take a vacation If all else fails, why not travel to somewhere enjoyable? Some of the more common selections are Myrtle Beach, Ocean City and the Outer Banks.
