Review of Dothan, Alabama


DO NOT MOVE TO DOTHAN!!!
Star Rating - 4/24/2021
I grew up in this horrible nothing city living here until in my early thirties and I left 20 years ago. I hated this place everyday and was so glad I left, it was the best decision I ever made. For some reason, maybe temporary insanity, I recently purchased a house and moved back. This was the BIGGEST mistake of my life!!! This is nothing but an ignorant, good ole' boy trash town. It's actually gotten worse since I left just bigger with even more dumbasses! Stupid people shouldn't breed! The worthless, stupid shuck and jive group that controls everything here is beyond the worst. If you hire someone to do some work, whether it's an attorney, real estate agent or contractor, they expect you to do the work for them because they are either lazy, incompetent or more than likely both then they act like they have done you some tremendous favor! Not to mention most I've had the displeasure to have been forced to employ are dishonest at best and act offended when you call them out in their BS. Of course, when they realize they painted themselves in a corner they get "mad" / "offended" finding some way to "quit" or they crawfish trying to fix the mess they've created. Compared to all other places I've lived any work you have done here is sub par but they act like they have split the atom, solved the riddle of the Sphinx or built the Parthenon. It's like that in personal relationships here too. On top of that the people here have an air of arrogance about them that makes you want to slap the taste out of their mouths. Here's a piece of wisdom to all the inbreed locals... Ignorance and arrogance don't mix! Dothan has nothing to offer except a whole bunch of restaurants with crap food and crappier service plus disorganized, poorly stocked, dirty stores with employees that either know nothing or pretend you don't exist when you try to get their attention for assistance. The police obviously do not enforce traffic laws causing traffic to be awefull with a bunch of 6 toed morons with better than thou attitudes driving like they always have the right of way. I promise when I leave this time I'll never even drive through this God forsaken wasteland!!! FYI, Southern Hospitality does not exist in Dothan, Alabama, never has... My advice is never, ever consider moving to this intellectual and cultural void. It would be different if the people were at least nice but they are rude, standoffish, paranoid, snobby.... List could go on.... If you can avoid it don't even drive thru it heading to the beach, you'll become dumber just by breathing the backwash air from the homegrown troglodytes! Dothan peaked in the 1980s socially and intellectually, the ones with half a brain from that and previous generations left leaving the "Hills Have Eyes" gene pool behind. I would compare the gene pool here and the general attitude of the locals to those of natives of rural New Jersey. Believe or not the weirdness level, attitude, etc are extremely similar only with a different accent.
