2:50 PM Dobb’s BBQ – B GONE
DOTHAN: 2:50 PM This morning the building where Dobb’s BBQ has occupied since 1957 was standing. This afternoon the building is on the ground.
The building was purchased by Hunt’s Restaurant. The Reeves Family and Lee Dobb’s has been friends for decades. When Dobb’s BBQ closed the owner’s of Hunt’s purchased the building.
In the hey day Dobb’s BBQ was the place to eat. Over several decades families went to Dobb’s BBQ. It was the Sunday night place that church families went to eat supper.
For many decades, Lee Dobb’s, Bill Livingston, Charles Sensabaugh, Aurthur Mayo, Jon Lindley and others worked. Dobb’s BBQ had curb boys where many a young person got their first jobs.
Lee Dobb’s had the hooie – sooie stick. He had magic toys. He had a rope with a wire running to a harness dog collar. Lee Dobb’s would come walking through the restaurant walking his dog. Story has it one lady grabbed the collar and rope and felt the wire and acted relieved. Lee made it real there was a dog there and she was glad when she realized there was no dog.
RSN ate many a gallons of Brunswick Stew from Dobb’s. And I wish that I had some now.
The Hunt’s family hated to tear the building down. There were many issues with the building to continue it for a restaurant. Their plans are to enlarge the parking lot of Hunt’s and make some changes to Hunt’s entrance, seating and offering more food items at Hunt’s.
A part of history in Dothan BBQ is now, officially history.
11:40 AM John Rogers Speaks To Volunteer Fire Chief’s
HOUSTON COUNTY: The Houston County Volunteer Fire Chief’s meet once a month. The group meets to discuss various issues and to revieve the tax checks for funding. Which is very little.
On Tuesday John Rogers, candidate for Houston County Commission Chairman and Richard Talley, candidate for Houston County Revenue Commissioner spoke.
Each candidate introduced themself and why they are seeking election to the respective offices.
Candidate John Rogers also presented the association with a personal donation for $ 500 to the association. The volunteer fire chief’s were shocked at the donation. Most candidates hand out government money and this is the first time a candidate gave a personal donation to help the volunteer fireman.
Rogers is seeking election as Chairman of the Houston County Commission. He said the office does not belong to the office holder but to the people. And Rogers said he desires to be a public servant to make Houston County a better place to live and work.
