I was transported back to Bangalore, India where I spent quite a lot of time when I managed one of the Asia design centers during my high-tech days. I cannot believe that Marigold - Gateway to India was on S. Lamar when I lived on S. Lamar. Walking into the shop felt like being transported to Bangalore or Rajasthan, India. Marigold is rooted in vibrant color, texture, and uniquely Indian pieces. The overhead draped colorful cloth added to the ambience. The store offers a curated selection of Indian clothing, jewelry, accessories, and gifts. The quality and variety of the merchandise was immediately noticeable. From traditional and contemporary clothing for women, men, and children to unique accessories and decorative pieces, everything feels authentic. Lata, the owner, was super nice and welcoming!

Not sure it is a factor of getting older and wiser, but being the first the purchase a holiday trinket or buying something only because it is 75% off is no longer a draw for me. During normal times, to find Macy's representatives is difficult. However, during the holiday season it feels like there is 2-3 representatives on the entire floor. I did see not anything of interest to wait in a long, long line. So I aborted my after Christmas sale spree altogether. Since Macy's now has a Starbuck's I thought of getting some coffee. However, the line looked long. So I exited stage left...

There aren't many places in the immediate area to buy clothes and TJ Maxx requires driving further…read moreinto Austin and the nearest Marshall's is in Round Rock. There used to be a Target but RIP. So Ross it is. Ross is at the bottom tier of these type of stores. If you remember K-mart the interior is bright and florescent. Everything is on racks. It's one of the larger Ross stores I've been in. I found some socks that I needed to buy and went to the amusement park line to the cashier. Here you can find lots of impulse snacks and gadgets. These stores always get busy mid afternoon just when your thinking your missing all the people picking up stuff after work. They had one cashier but the line started to get long so they opened another cash register. Ross has always been the lower end of the big 3 and they've always had security guards at the door even in the late 1900s. This one was slightly different as they inspect your bags and look at your receipt before leaving - I suggest going to Melrose nearby or drive further out to a Marshall's or TJ Maxx if you can so you don't have to deal with the feeling like you are in prison.
