The sign is so specific about what isn’t permitted that I would be inclined to believe that anything not listed on the sign is perfectly fine. Which does leave quite a few options, albeit we’ll all have to keep our clothes on…
Ah Saugatuck — one of the beaches of my youth. I think they may have added that “no nudity” thing after my college days at Western. Those city fathers sure know how to put a damper on things.
We have a sign from the Let ‘er Buck room, under the grandstands during the Pendleton Roundup, one of the oldest rodeos in the West. It says: Keep Your Clothes On. By Saturday, the elk head over the bar is festooned with various undergarments. It’s not a quiet place to drink, but it is interesting.
I loved Erma, but really, that wicker chair only becomes a problem when one sits in it, so the walking around would work fine. And why do they say “public nudity”? That seems to imply if one’s nudity was private then it wouldn’t count… I’m just glad nudity was the worst thing they could think of.

I recently saw an article about the nudists protesting having to wear a mask as some camp, saying they wouldn’t truly be nude with a mask on.
