Now get dressed and get outta here
Glen Echo, a naturist park about an hour’s drive from Toronto, has been sold and will be closed; a number of seasonal residents have been informed that they have to be out of the Hundred-Acre Wood by the end of September.
There is no shortage of clubs in Ontario, but Glen Echo was the first, dating back to the middle 1950s.
This line caught my attention:
In its mid-1990s heyday, as many as 350 families were members. But interest in the movement has sagged across the world in recent years.
As its major practitioners — people about my age — have sagged, I suppose. Still, nude cruises continue to sell out: maybe the emphasis is shifting as the old guard fades away and younger, presumably hipper souls take command of the $400 million industry.
