Traditions
Written for Friday Fictioneers, using the photo below for inspiration;
the challenge is to write something creative in 100 words or less.
Thereβs something very comforting about Montauk; itβs steeped in tradition, averse to change.
Case in point: the Montauk Shirt Shop which never changed its inventory β¦. and that was just fine. People popped in to get their mandatory summer vacation t-shirt …. not the latest fashion craze.
Things just weren’t the same after the familiar shop was renovated featuring a new step-up, almost exclusive section with high-end merchandise and souvenirs no one wanted. We looked around the new area once; it was overpriced and a bit too chi-chi for the sleepy fishing village.
Sometimes all you want is a damn t-shirt.

This is the Stones with βMemory Motelβ, located on 27 East in Montauk, NY right across the street from the old diner and the t-shirt store. In my younger days I’d go to the bar at the Memory Motel and may or may not have caught a glimpse of Mick and Keith mingling very comfortably with the locals. It was a simpler time, no big deal, ya know?
