New Trends on Block Island

By Camilla Garrison

This Fourth of July on Block Island, the beach crowds were enormous, town was filled, and the Garrison siblings made the most of it. Camilla and Isaac went to the parade and had their lemonade stand in front of Claudia’s Surf City which accepted Venmo and cash, and sold “homemade”pink lemonade.

On a motorcycle trip to town, their parents noticed some peculiar new trends with the young people. A confusing trend that both Camilla and Isaac, and Hannah and Chris witnessed, was people wearing their jean shorts unzipped and folded down with bikini bottoms underneath. The second, and more shocking trend is that apparently it is now okay to wear thongs in town, walking about with not a care in the world. Any clarification would be much appreciated!
