yeah..people keep bringing up that smell...does it even reach you while indoors?

Lived here most of my life. The only time I smell it is on a humid day or after a rain. I live in the north part of town, also.

Yeah I also live in North Dodge, but also grew up in South Dodge, the smell isn't near as bad up North as it was down South! lol You can really only smell it after a hard rain!

I grew up in Dodge but now live in LA. I doubt you will find the crime very scary. You are talking to people from a town where you once didn't have to lock your doors and now you do. It's a big change from the past but not very scary.

I lived at the Holmestead apartments right near there. It's quiet neighborhood with families taking walks in the summer evenings.

You still see people taking walks in that area, the only difference is they now carry tazzers. OK OK I'm just kidding. Well, maybe not!

KC-

So where are the best hamburgers and tacos in KC?

LAdodger,

stats are about right!

Overall, Dodge is a great place to live! Sure we have our problems, but what city doesn't.

My advice: Get to know your neighbors. Even though you live in a quiet part of town, watch out for them and most likely they'll do the same for you.

Welcome to Dodge City and the board!
