"There is nothing to do in downtown Fort Dodge bit listen to drunk people coming out of the bars. No places to shop, no coffee shops close by, a few restaurants. It's dirty and loud downtown."

"Not as safe... many street intersections in Fort Dodge do not have stoplights, stop signs, or yield signs. If you're not careful, someone will speed by and ram you, particularly during rush hour."
