As we reflect on the end of the summer, local photographer Jon Cherry — who won a Pulitzer Prize earlier this year — shared these nostalgia-inducing photos recapping summer across the 502 making us wish we could turn back the clock.

Jon’s adventures around Derby City this summer took him to Forage and Bean Roastery and Cafe in Germantown + he showed us a behind-the-scenes photo of Chef Lawrence Weeks at North of Bourbon (hopefully making his delicious pickled shrimp).

He also hit Logan Street Market + even got out to Lynn Family Stadium for a soccer gamewhich is still on Sarah’s to-do list.

Brush up on our end of summer bucket list + see what you can check off in the final week of summer.
