While I do not live in Dothan I do live about 45 miles north of the town. Dothan would be concerned a small to medium sized city. There are the normal enmities of any city such as mall, movie theaters and golf courses. The town has good hospitals and about average school systems. Manufacturing base seems too limited as most of the new building seems to center on shopping and sales. I never feel unsafe in any of the areas of Dothan that I visit nor do you ever hear of major crime reports. If constant excitement is your need then this is not the place for you but if raising a family and their happiness is your goal then go!

I work for a company based in Dothan, AL. I go there for training on occasion. From an outsiders viewpoint I see it as some on here are saying. A city that is not so small to have to drive to another city to go to movies or a bar or something. They do have pretty decent restaurants. Kind of small town feel but big enough. Seems like a good area to live in. I have stayed in several of the hotel rooms and never felt threatened anywhere. The plus of being that close to PC Beach is great. Someone said a nice place to raise a family but maybe if you are looking for the big city lights move on to ATL or BIR.
