No Ring Toss at the Textile Park

I came across an interesting use of the word textile. At least it was new to me.

It’s long been known as a nudist resort or a naturist resort, if you prefer.

And it’s a place where clothing has been completely optional at all times,

Yeah. Yeah. Apparently, this is a usage in the nudist community.

You know, you might say, oh, no, that’s a textile beach, not a nude one.
