Commerce? Or Dawsonville?

Dawsonville. Wife and I live in Flowery Branch and like to shop there when we go on over seas trips. Kind of a tradition for us to go there and get a few clothes for our trips

There is a outlet mall there

The one in Commerce or Dawsonville?

1985, sat on a flight from St. Petersburg, Florida to New Orleans next to a Chinese dude with such bad dandruff that his shoulders were covered in what looked like snow. Never seen anything else that nasty.

Had to be a cultural thing not to care.

Any realtors had to sell a house after an Indian moved out of it?

The smell never leaves

We were on a Disney bus with a family of 6 dot Indians and the 6 had the entire front of the bus to themselves. There must have been 20 of us packed in the back half. I felt bad for them because it was obvious but they smelled that bad.

It’s the spices and garlic in their diet. Turmeric and fenugreek ooze out of your pores if you consume too much.

No. It smells just like regular body odor.

No water in that part of the world.

I had two Indian friends in high school and college.

They were born in America and lived as Americans while eating an Indian diet prepared by thier mothers.

They showered every day and wore deodorant and did not stink.

I don't think it is the diet. I think it is the lack of soap and water.

Kind of admirable for thier families. Came to America poor, lived a middle class life and sent thier sons and daughters to college.

The two kids I knew are closing in on 50 now and live a upper middle class life.

This post reminds me of the India Imports Store in Kenner. Still have my Bruce Lee shoes I got from there.
