Bemidji

A small city in Northern Minnesota situated on Lake Bemidji, surrounded by woods, lakes, casinos, and Native American reservations. Bemidji is simultaneously both a charming family friendly tourist town with the local attraction being a statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, and extremely ghetto, as it has a high population of druggies and homeless people. It also boasts an extremely high crime rate. Being centrally located in the middle of nowhere in Northern Minnesota, it is really cold in Bemidji during the Winter and the local population typically likes to call it "Brrrmidji". Bemidji is also home to Bemidji State University, a small university that has a reputation for being a party school, but epically fails at living up to that standard. BSU has six main selling points.. 1. Above Average hockey 2. Being situated directly on a lake 3. Being cheap 4. Did I mention it's on a lake? 5. It strives to be eco-friendly. 6. See point 2. Tips if visiting Bemidji for the first time.... 1. Avoid Walmart at all costs. Just trust me. 2. Do not visit in the Winter.

Take a picture with Paul and Babe
