What it’s like
The place. Dasher is a very small town in Lowndes County, Georgia, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Lowndes County, some of the largest workplaces are South Georgia Medical Center, Lowndes County Schools and Valdosta State University. Commutes are fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Wild Adventures is an amusement park, and Lot Pond is a lake for a quiet afternoon. The Lowndes County Historical Society Museum, also a short drive off, is a good place to learn about the area. For time on the water, the Withlacoochee River is a longer drive away.
