To say that Scooba is in “the sticks” is a gross misrepresentation. Even though road signs point to Scooba as a significant stop, there is nothing there. Near the highway that bypasses the “town” are two gas stations. One of them serves fried chicken and has an attached Subway. That’s the only place you can eat in town when Slim’s burger joint is shut down on gameday.
Scooba is called Scooba only because it has a post office and water tower with the namesake. The town is the junior college. That’s it.
The football stadium dominates the landscape.
