The Downtown Group Dothan

There’s an old Southern gentleman now standing downtown on the corner of North Foster and Main Street. He wears a gray suit and wide-brimmed hat, and boasts a silver mustaches that you imagine he would twist between his fingers – if he could – when he was deep in thought. He stares fixedly at the building across the street, never even blinking as the cars rush by his corner. He’s short and his physique may be a bit rotund and dimpled, but that’s because he doesn’t get much exercise doing what he does all day – just standing in one spot, rain or shine, vigilantly holding aloft signs that tell passers-by what they would find if they were to take a turn down Foster Street. If this gentleman sounds a little nuts to you, well, it’s because he is – he’s one of Dothan’s newest Peanuts Around Town, and he’s promoting business on Foster Street in downtown Dothan. Read More

2010 and 2011 continue to reflect a Renaissance movement downtown. Several new businesses have joined our downtown community to include a dance studio, an accounting firm and a marketing-consulting business. The old Bank Building was purchased and restored on the corner of East Main and North Foster and several old buildings have undergone façade restorations. Downtown continues to attract a variety of new business ventures. Perspective investors continue to check out our inventory of buildings in the Historic District.
