Review of Dothan, Alabama


Great Small Town
Star Rating - 5/17/2007
Bret has issues. I moved here from San Diego, CA. Dothan is a GREAT little city. Easy access to numerous vacation spots. Travel times- Florida Beaches 1 hour, Atlanta 3 hrs, New Orleans, Orlando, Savanna, St Augustine are all 5 hrs. Smokey Mountains 5 hrs. The people are friendly. The Medical Facilities are the best in a 250 mile radius. Lots of small industry. Crime is the lowest I have ever seen. I've lived in New Orleans, San Diego, and Springfield, MO.

First of all it takes longer than an hour to get to Panama city Beach..Longer than three hours to Orlando. and it has the best medical facilities around because there is no other ones around...lol..crime is high, education is horrible, You have to travel outside the area for higher education other than the extension to TSU..small industry you must be talking about Blockbuster video, because the economy there is horrible and the unemployment rate is very high. I noticed you didnt put anything nice about Dothan in your comment only places to go outside of Dothan...lol...I dont know many cities that you cant say your within 5 hours of everything...lol...you must have got your higher education in houston county!
