Farley is on the river about a 15 to 20 minute drive East of Dothan.
I want to ask without coming across as being racist, but what is the ethnic breakdown for Dothan.

Haha I hear ya. City limits I think are about 30-40% black. Comparatively small Latino population compared with the current trend. Decent amount of Asians due to the Sony plant. Go outside of downtown though and you are talking lily white. This is not like a Selma, AL or anything if that is what you are asking.

Dothan= Tuscaloosa without the nasty river. Same amount of rednecks.


Dothan is actually more comparable to Auburn.

T-town is much bigger and nicer.

Auburn attracts alot of rednecks due to the fact that it's the agricultural school. Plus, Auburn doesnt have a river either.
