Dude i been by it before as my grandma used to live there, ive seen videos is on it and my mom told me it was a school for boys before but i never knew it was dozier
I went to the juvenile prison that was inside the dozier boys camp.... was called Jackson Juvenile Offenders Correction Center (JJOCC) spent 15 months of my life in that place.....from 17 to 19 yrs old. I'll never forget that hell hole
FUN FACT: Marianna is exactly half way between New Orleans and Orlando (4 1/2 hours each way), just in case you know any retirees who want to split time between the two cities. (It's also 4 hours from Atlanta.)
Great voiceover, Katie! Jose, you’ve got the best co-pilot/wife/work partner!! Keep up the great work.😊. One suggestion, would be to put a star on a map of Florida,or whichever state you are in, to indicate where the town you are visiting is located as the video plays. Love learning about the history as well as attractions of all the towns you are visiting!! 👍🏻
OOU! when you guys go back to marianna, you SERIOUSLY need to check out the russ house!!😈 its right in downtown, and its one of THE most haunted places in the entire state!!!
Dollar General Store is hardly a plus for a community. Looks like most stores are empty. Sad to see such damage, but town needs an infusion of smart shops and restaurants (not fast food junk).
i live about 3-5 minutes from here in Greenwood Florida! take it from me, its rough around the edges (marianna)... but compared to where i moved from (about 30 minutes away) its SOOOO much better! way more opportunities
I live about 5 miles north of town and have to say this place is definitely a mixed bag. Most everyone I have had dealings with have been very nice and I joke that this is more southern Alabama than it is Florida. I moved here because it is the right place to be stationed out of for my job (I travel a lot) and has basic amenities like groceries and banks. There is not much 'fun' to do here, but it is convenient to Dothan, Tallahassee and Panama City Beach, so there is that. I probably wouldn't live here if I had to find a job with a local company, the economy is definitely sub par.
I moved here from Destin. Bought a brand new home for 150k... fabulous area as it's only 1 hr from Panama City Beach and Tallahassee. Definitely buy here...a WIN WIN as this place is off of active I 10
also, downtown marianna has some restaurants and such, but just like 5-10 minutes up the road towards the interstate theres a lot more fast food places
I live here and love it, I have lived all over the east coast of florida and this is the most comfortable place to raise my daughter good schools and people hold the door for you any where it's great if you like the country
I have been there many times. If you like great outdoor activity, ghost activity, or just hanging out, you are on a great city. Most people here are related...
Lived here all my life.. Awesome town and you should check out Bellamy bridge and... If u were here in 2021..hurricane Michael DEVISTATED our town.. That's why so much is closed.. We looked like a war zone after the storm
Than you. I lived in Marianna from 1954 -1960. It has less people now than back when Graham Aviation was here. Hello Roger Bell, Nell Harrison and 1st Baptist Church.
Miranna has sure grown up some back n the early 80's we had good ole country shopping stores that would even help ppl with credit slips to buy groceries and pay on pay day.. I raised my first baby their working and running the good ole 76 truck stop
We have a breakfast place called The waffle iron, you made a u turn at Winn Dixie before the restaurant. Also have two Waffle House, a Walmart, sonny’s bbq. I’m Cuban and live here and would like to assist you with your next video about Marianna.
You didn't drive all the way through town. You missed the highlights of our beautiful community. You turned right on Lafayette and passed a breakfast shop on your left (the gazebo). When you turned around at winn dixie, you missed the waffle iron, Hardee's, burger King, and more restaurants. You missed driving over the chipola River, (which you mentioned). You missed driving over the Mill pond which is where the Jackson Blue springs are. You missed alot in such a short drive.
That's cause it's been a Winn-Dixie town for a long time. Just like DeFuniak. As fast as DeFuniak's growing though, Publix will be there soon. They already set up shop in Freeport.
There are no jobs in this town unless you want to work for the prison, the mental hospital, or the hospital. But if you work in that field and you like small town vibes give it a look.
Could you please give a distance reference from main cities like, how far is it from Miami? HOW FAR IS IT FROM FortLauderdale? HOW FAR FROM Lehigh or Napels? THANKS👍🏽
I swear... people do not know ANYTHING about Florida or how big this state is. To the OP, Miami is a galaxy away from Marianna and the two are completely different countries.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS LOL Y'all drove right by Gazebo Coffee Shoppe & Deli which has some amazing breakfast food! Other than that there's Waffle House by the interstate. And the Truck Stop.
Yeah just don’t have any run ins with the law. You’ll get the true marianna experience then! Wester was a prime example. Once they meet you they won’t leave you alone.. they got nothing better to do.🥱🤙🏽
This town is also infamous for the former Dozier School for Boys that was shut down in 2011.
Dude i been by it before as my grandma used to live there, ive seen videos is on it and my mom told me it was a school for boys before but i never knew it was dozier
@@RegeraOW apparently if you go there now the police will chase you off

And almost exactly 1.25 hours from tallahassee, panama city and destin.

It’s sad what hurricane micheal has done to this city. From 7,000 people to 2,000
It was bad before that
Since then seems like the city is growing more and more!❤
OOU! when you guys go back to marianna, you SERIOUSLY need to check out the russ house!!😈 its right in downtown, and its one of THE most haunted places in the entire state!!!
Been watching you for a while, and gotta say, great work guys!!
Awesome! Thank you!
👏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Great job Katie. Nice talking voice. Good practice for when you get your Realestate License 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You have a great voice.
Enjoyed the tour.

I was gonna fire her 😅🌴🌴🌴🌴
Good job on this vid. Definitely want to see more on the houses and attractions!

This is halarious and i dont think she was trying
Katie you rock! Great job narrating the video.
Jose, when did your voice get so high-pitch. Katie do your thing..
Not just big branches...trees hurricane Michael was the worst hurricane I've ever experienced
she's doing a good job pleasant voice
Good job!!.keep up. It was the bubble gum pink car that caught my attention 😂
Dollar General Store is hardly a plus for a community. Looks like most stores are empty. Sad to see such damage, but town needs an infusion of smart shops and restaurants (not fast food junk).
not even a diner.. yeah DG is hood LOL
i live about 3-5 minutes from here in Greenwood Florida! take it from me, its rough around the edges (marianna)... but compared to where i moved from (about 30 minutes away) its SOOOO much better! way more opportunities

with Alabama the further north you go the better incomes and lifes get.
You are so right. Sub par jobs indeed.
Thanks Katie, nice presentation!
I was just exploring that area of FL (virtually ;)....
Marianne is about an hour and a half from Pensacola quiet Little country Town thanks for sharing Katie
correct! FLORIBAMA
I moved here from Destin. Bought a brand new home for 150k... fabulous area as it's only 1 hr from Panama City Beach and Tallahassee. Definitely buy here...a WIN WIN as this place is off of active I 10
Very nice! you dont mind it boring?
also, downtown marianna has some restaurants and such, but just like 5-10 minutes up the road towards the interstate theres a lot more fast food places
I been thru Marianna FL before. It definitely has a Wetumpka Alabama type of influence. Panhandle FL is different
Go Katie. Hard to keep up with Jose though, he free talks like a professor for an hour straight :)
I really enjoy living in this area. Great job on the review.
I live here and love it, I have lived all over the east coast of florida and this is the most comfortable place to raise my daughter good schools and people hold the door for you any where it's great if you like the country
Thanks for sharing! its nice in north florida. south florida aint
I have been there many times. If you like great outdoor activity, ghost activity, or just hanging out, you are on a great city. Most people here are related...
Because of inbreeding
@@CarsAndCoffeeKings No in breeding just close families. I'm breeding is for Yankees!!!
@@CarsAndCoffeeKingsseent it first hand
Lived here all my life.. Awesome town and you should check out Bellamy bridge and... If u were here in 2021..hurricane Michael DEVISTATED our town.. That's why so much is closed.. We looked like a war zone after the storm
I want to go up there to see the florida caverns state park so bad !!! Also Katie's voice is so soothing for some reason
cuz my voice is angry LOL
Good research Katie 👍
You made a helpful video keep up the good work where is going to visit this city in March 2021
we are trying to help alot of people
It’s also the hometown of the radio show KICKN WITH BEN

amazing,
Do they have a Home Depot , Walmart? Amazon dispatch?
I live here and it's very boring here.
if anyone does come here i recommend the history tour. if you wish to know a little about our towns history.
We have a breakfast place called The waffle iron, you made a u turn at Winn Dixie before the restaurant.
Also have two Waffle House, a Walmart, sonny’s bbq.
I’m Cuban and live here and would like to assist you with your next video about Marianna.
The Waffle Iron trash plate is the best!
Good background history 👍
The Intro 🤣🤣 instant like 👍
Do DeFuniak Springs! 45 minutes west of Marianna with way more history and interesting things!
Make sure to tour the Historic District. Downtown and Circle Drive. Victorian style homes around the second roundest non man made lake in the world.
yeah thats a strange lake!!!
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS It is. According to legend a meteor made it.
My Reply to katie: if my net worth was $1400 I’d drive that 😅😅😅 - let her upload a video and she disses me!
And when will you do Defuniak?
VERY SOON
You didn't drive all the way through town. You missed the highlights of our beautiful community. You turned right on Lafayette and passed a breakfast shop on your left (the gazebo). When you turned around at winn dixie, you missed the waffle iron, Hardee's, burger King, and more restaurants. You missed driving over the chipola River, (which you mentioned). You missed driving over the Mill pond which is where the Jackson Blue springs are. You missed alot in such a short drive.
But they have no Publix or Target though.
That's cause it's been a Winn-Dixie town for a long time. Just like DeFuniak. As fast as DeFuniak's growing though, Publix will be there soon. They already set up shop in Freeport.
That's because Target only establishes in towns with typically more than 35k people. Marianna only has 7k population.
Hey man do a video on your car! I’d like to see it!
We did a video on our cars! Its got both gmcs on the cover photo
I literally live here and think wowww it looks nice there
Jose, what are your thoughts on this place? Would you move here or is this a bad place? I’ve been there before. I live an hour away
saw nothing that attracted me. i like dothan tho. will explore more of the panhandle soon.
Umm ummm ummm ummm ummm umm
O wow!! Miranna looks so different
😁
Who is Miranna? It’s MARIANNA.
There are no jobs in this town unless you want to work for the prison, the mental hospital, or the hospital. But if you work in that field and you like small town vibes give it a look.
nice!!
This town has dark past 😢
Most people don't won't to speak about.
AGDS for Boys😢
Could you please give a distance reference from main cities like, how far is it from Miami? HOW FAR IS IT FROM FortLauderdale? HOW FAR FROM Lehigh or Napels? THANKS👍🏽
this is FAR LOL - like.. 8 hours FLORIDA is BIG!
From lehigh marianna is a little under 500 miles.
I swear... people do not know ANYTHING about Florida or how big this state is. To the OP, Miami is a galaxy away from Marianna and the two are completely different countries.
There’s nothing for family and children to go and do anything fun have to drive a hour away
Can you drive threw Alford fl on lake point
I live in marianna fo 16 years
Thank you
M TOWN !
You was on 90 if you didn't turn around you would of came up to up the creak, they have good food
Cool. We will be back in the pandandle only 3 hours away

Panama City Beach has more than enough
Eat is typical for katie 🤷
my mom was born there in 1912 jackson precient #9
This is so painful to watch. LOL She didn't even go out to the interstate where all the action is!
the only thing that was painful was having to drive to DOTHAN to get breakfast cuz the town aint even got a diner
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS LOL Y'all drove right by Gazebo Coffee Shoppe & Deli which has some amazing breakfast food! Other than that there's Waffle House by the interstate. And the Truck Stop.
And PoFolks, also Waffle Iron across from Winn Dixie.
My best friend lives there!
