Well that where you are Wrong.......

Dothan Does not Have 3 major interstates running through it, Actually that where it more similar to Columbus....NO access at all....It also doesn't served a hub to a Centralized region and MSA combine pop over 700,000..... Dothan is smaller in size and pop than Macon, nor does it have a skyline or an infrastructure, shopping, dining as Macon..... Sorry but Dothan is more similar to cities like Aiken SC, Warner Robins, Rome, Dalton, Gainesville Valdosta or maybe Albany,GA.....Before you try and compare Dothan to Macon it first has to be able to compete with W.Robins..

Dothan metropolitan area is estimated at 138,234, well take a looks at this Houston County(W.Robins) has 2007 estimates showing a population of 131,016 that just 7,000 short than having almost the pop of Dothan MSA....Which is as of 2009 it probably more NOW because Houston County the fastest growing county in Georgia not within Atlanta's CSA.

First of all, I said similar! So don't put words in my mouth! Dothan is the gateway to southeast Alabama and its metro extends in to FL which includes Ponce de leon. And Columbus DOES have access to interstate i-85. So think before you open your smart mouth!

I-85 Does NOT run through Columbus, The city has access to by 185 connector highway which is NOT an Interstate......

For the record Dothan is more similar to Columbus than it is Macon..........thats Facts.
